Example of a Practice Sheet used to document and progress the Motor Training.
Images may be used as prompts for the exercises being practiced, with specific instructions or deviations documented in the “notes” column (Images copied with permission from Another important aspect of the SCI-MT Trial intervention is target orientated instructions.
