Abstract

Background: The spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common, and frequently severe form of disability, suffered by more than 2.5 million people around the world. It is therefore important to manage people with SCI carefully, whether they are in their acute or post-acute phases of rehabilitation. Conclusions: During two separate intensive rehabilitation therapies, a 31-yearold man with persistent spinal cord injuries received LokomatPro or combined Lokomat Pro-rTMS training. A Clinicians, kineticists, and electrophysiologists assessment was conducted Each training session should be followed by a debriefing. A particularly significant difference was the pre-coaching rTMS session that was completed three weeks before the LokomatPro session, and the intense robotic training conducted over 40 one-hour sessions over an eight-week period (i.e., five times per week). It wasn't until after the trial therapy ended that we noticed a significant change in most of the metrics. Applicability in the clinic: Combining LokomatPro rehabilitation with rTMS may be beneficial to SCI patients, even during their chronic phase
