Patient-therapist INTERaction During RObotic GAIT Rehabilitation After Spinal Cord Injury

Patients will underwent 12 RAGT training sessions (3 times/week for 4 consecutive weeks, 45 min each including the time for wearing the harness and the exoskeleton) with the Lokomat device as add-on to conventional regimen (5 times/week, 80 min each). The Lokomat is a technologically advanced robot-assisted gait training device. Patients are supported in a harness above a treadmill while the robotic device assists the movements of their legs to provide physiological gait. As treatment progresses, weight bearing is increased and assistance from the robotic legs is reduced, requiring the patient to gradually assume greater responsibility for movements needed during walking.
