Effects of body-weight supported treadmill training and electrical timulation on functional ambulation and strength in patients with incomplete traumatic spinal cord injury: A randomized controlled trial
All three groups demonstrated improvements in ambulatory function and functional independence over time, with the BWSTT + ES + CT group showing the greatest overall gains. . Combining BWSTT with ES and CT showed superior results in walking ability and functional independence in individuals with incomplete SCI, while strength and endurance improvements were similar across different rehabilitation approaches.<b>Registration No.</b> (Trial ID: 70844; IRCT ID: IRCT20230615058487N1).
