We tested the acute effects of 4 days of LT using BWSTT combined with Robotic Locomotor therapy compared to BWSTT twice weekly.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design:<\/jats:title>\n \n Two non-ambulatory participants with an American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) D. Both received LT for 2 weeks as a portion of their clinical inpatient rehabilitation program and both used wheelchairs as their primary method of mobility. Over a 2 week period, one participant received a total of 8 visits consisting of manual BWSTT (twice weekly) combined with Robotic locomotor therapy (twice weekly). The other participant preformed manual BWSTT (twice weekly) for a total of 4 visits. Resting energy expenditure, body composition, muscle strength, submaximal oxygen consumption (VO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n ) and blood lactate during LT were measured pre and post-training.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The average maximum voluntary contraction of both knee extensor muscle groups increased by 28\u201334% with associated reduction in spasticity to the BWSTT participant. Two week interventions resulted in a downward shift of the lactate concentrations for both participants, increase in resting energy expenditure and shift in substrate utilization.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion and conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n A clinical paradigm of incorporating BWSTT with robotic locomotor therapy for 4 days\/ week did not provide additional physiological benefits to skeletal muscle strength, spasticity or metabolic profile compared to twice weekly of LT using BWSTT.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3233\/nre-2011-0680","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,3]],"date-time":"2019-12-03T17:58:04Z","timestamp":1575395884000},"page":"79-83","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Acute effects of locomotor training on neuromuscular and metabolic profile after incomplete spinal cord injury"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Ashraf S.","family":"Gorgey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Spinal Cord Injury and Disorders Center, Hunter Holmes McGuire VAMC, Richmond, VA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hunter","family":"Poarch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spinal Cord Injury and Disorders Center, Hunter Holmes McGuire VAMC, Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Harnish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spinal Cord Injury and Disorders Center, Hunter Holmes McGuire VAMC, Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joshua M.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spinal Cord Injury and Disorders Center, Hunter Holmes McGuire VAMC, Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Dolbow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spinal Cord Injury and Disorders Center, Hunter Holmes McGuire VAMC, Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David R.","family":"Gater","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spinal Cord Injury and Disorders Center, Hunter Holmes McGuire VAMC, Richmond, VA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,23]]},"container-title":["NeuroRehabilitation: An International, Interdisciplinary Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/NRE-2011-0680","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/NRE-2011-0680","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T06:03:26Z","timestamp":1777615406000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.3233\/NRE-2011-0680"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,23]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,23]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3233\/NRE-2011-0680"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/nre-2011-0680","relation":{},"ISSN":["1053-8135","1878-6448"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1053-8135","type":"print"},{"value":"1878-6448","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,23]]}}}
