PAPER: Robotic locomotor training more cost-effective than conventional training for patients with complete spinal cord injuries
A new study reported in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation found that the cost-effectiveness of the type of locomotor training received – traditional versus robotic – depends on the severity of the injury.

Locomotor Function Following Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Individuals with Hemiplegic Stroke
Despite advances in stroke rehabilitation, more than two-thirds of the 7 million stroke survivors in the U.S. still struggle to walk independently in their communities. Most current therapies focus on stimulating the brain areas that control leg movement, yet many stroke survivors continue to face issues like poor coordination, spasticity, and muscle weakness. We propose a different approach—using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve walking after stroke.
