Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements are a valid method for sublesional muscle activity following spinal cord injury (SCI). In the literature there are few reports evaluating the effect of robotic assisted gait training (RAGT) on the sEMG properties change in SCI patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of RAGT on observed change of sEMG, and in 64 incomplete SCI patients in the sub-acute stage in relation to functional scales.
