10 Meter Walking at Preferred Speed
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
The 10 meter walk test assesses the time required to walk 10 meters at the patient's preferred speed (in seconds).
Results were converted to walking speed [m/s].
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Positive values denote improvements.

10 Meter Walking at Maximal Speed
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
The 10 meter walking speed assesses the time needed to walk 10 meters at maximal speed (in seconds).
Results were converted to walking speed [m/s].
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Positive values denote improvements.

Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
The WISCI II describes whether a patients requires waling aids, braces or personal assistance to walk 10 meters.
It is an ordinal scale varying from 0 (= not able to walk 10 meters) to 20 (= able to walk 10 meters with no walking aids, braces or personal assistance).
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Positive values denote improvements.
|
Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
|
Berg Balance Scale
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
The Berg Balance Scale is a performance-based measure of balance.
It is scored from 0 (= failed all items) to 56 points (= scored maximally in all items).
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Positive values denote improvements.
|
Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)

Spinal Cord Independence Measure III
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
The SCIM assesses functional independence after spinal cord injury.
It is scored from 0 (= total dependence in everyday life) to 100 points (= complete independence in everyday life).
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Positive values denote improvements.
|
Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)

|
Mean Latency of the Averaged Motor Evoked Potentials of the Right and the Left M. Tibialis
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
Motor evoked potential was elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Negative values denote improvements.
|
Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
|
Manual Muscle Test of the Lower Extremity
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
With the manual muscle test, we examined strength of the lower extremities.
Five key muscles on each side are evaluated from 0 (= total paralysis) to 5 (= normal strength).
Values for left and right were then averaged.
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Positive values denote improvements.
|
Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
|
Pain on a Visual Analogue Scale
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
Pain was scored on a visual analogue scale from 0 (= no pain) to 100 (= maximal pain).
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Negative values denote improvements.
|
Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
|
Response Time of the Lower Extremities
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
We measured choice stepping response time on a plate in a standing position.
Participant had to move their feet to flashing LEDs as fast as possible.
Valid values of the right and the left foot were averaged.
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Negative values denote improvements.
|
Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
|
Falls Efficacy Scale
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
The Falls Efficacy Scale evaluates fear of falling in everyday life situations.
It is scored from 16 (= no fear at all) to 64 points (= maximal fear in all items).
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Negative values denote improvements.

Figure of Eight Test
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
|
The Figure of Eight Test is a 10m Walk Test in the shape of a figure of eight.
Time for completion of one lap is recorded and converted to [m/s].
Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline.
Positive values denote improvements.
