Interventions
Lokomat, ®
Lokomat® or conventional gait training (CGT) was provided in addition to the mandated three hours of conventional IRF therapy. Both groups received up to four 45-min individual gait training sessions per week. Treatment was well defined and standardized at the top level to the degree possible given the individualized nature of gait training. In each group, the protocol was focused on achieving the maximum number of steps as possible and active participation during the training time. How the therapist achieved this was based, in part, on walking ability for each participant. An overview of the structure and priority of activities and progression is discussed for both groups in the below paragraphs; additional details are provided in the Additional file
