Abstract. Some salient fe atures of the physical training programme for paraplegics at the State Rehabilitation Institute in Oslo are mentioned. A ten-year fo llow-up study of 42 clients with complete lesions (TI-L3) is presented. After an intensive physical training programme of some 10-15 weeks 7 4 per cent were able to climb and go down 20 standard stairs and 7 1 per cent were able to walk 100 metres indoors with crutches. The authors stress the importance of ambulations independent of wheelchairs whenever this is possible.
