Kunming Locomotor Training: neurological, functional, and autonomic outcomes in complete spinal cord injury
KLT experience indicates that prolonged, intensive overground locomotor training can promote neurological and functional recovery in individuals with initially complete injuries. KLS provides a sensitive measure of functional progress. These findings underscore the clinical value of task-specific stepping and provide a new benchmark for evaluating sustained rehabilitation strategies and research into post-SCI recovery.
