The Value of High Intensity Locomotor Training Applied to Patients With Acute-Onset Neurologic Injury
Long-standing research in animal models and humans with stroke or incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) indicate that specific physical training variables, such as the specificity and amount of practice, may influence neurologic recovery and locomotor function. More recent data highlight the contributions of exercise intensity, as estimated indirectly by cardiovascular exertion, as potentially more important than previously considered. The effects of exercise intensity are well described in neurologically intact individuals, although confusion regarding the definitions of intensity and safety concerns have limited its imple...

Feasibility of Rehabilitation Training With a Newly Developed Wearable Robot for Patients With Limited Mobility
Conclusions: Eight weeks of rehabilitative training with the wearable robot (16 sessions of 90min) could be performed safely and effectively, even many years after the subjects received their diagnosis.

Handrim Wheelchair Propulsion Training Effect on Overground Propulsion Using Biomechanical Real-Time Visual Feedback
Conclusions: Long-term wheelchair users in both intervention groups significantly improved many aspects of their propulsion technique immediately after training and 3 months from baseline. Furthermore, training with a low-cost instructional video and slide presentation was an effective training tool alone.
