Abstract

Transcranial Magnet Stimulation (TMS) measures are useful for assessing motor recovery after stroke but are underutilized in spinal cord injury (SCI). Here, we report preliminary findings from an ongoing randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of overground robotic exoskeleton gait training on walking recovery in individuals with motor incomplete SCI. The purpose of this analysis was to examine change in TMS measures in individuals with motor incomplete SCI across the initial months post-SCI. (Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Hui-Ting Goh)
