Gait training with body weight-supported overground training is comparable to treadmill training for improving locomotion in people with traumatic incomplete tetraplegia.
Study design Non-randomized within-subject experimental study. Objective To determine whether the addition of the 1 cm heel lift to the footwear improves the walking ability of the persons with Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES).
The goal of the therapists and patient while selecting an ambulatory aid is to maximise walking ability, manoeuverability and independence, while maintaining safety and stability. Unlike elbow crutches or walker, gutter crutches are not a familiar and well established walking aid in the rehabilitation of persons with incomplete spinal cord injury. In this case report we highlight enhanced ambulation achieved by a 53-year-old man with chronic, incomplete tetraplegia with the use of gutter crutches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
