About this study

Researchers are testing a new rehabilitation treatment for people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) to improve walking. The trial will measure certain features called biomarkers in blood and spinal fluid to determine the best time to start this training program. This training involves downhill treadmill walking with electrical stimulation, which helps practice walking even if full muscle control hasn't returned.

Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
