Effects on the functional scales
SPINAL CORD
The functional outcomes at baseline and post-intervention were assessed (Table Functional outcomes following exoskeleton training or convectional training, and comparison among times and interventions WISCI-II(0–20) SCIM-III(0–100) WISCI-II(0–20) SCIM-III(0–100)CG: control group; IG: intervention group; *significant differences (p < 0.05). ηSignificant differences in the WISCI-II were also observed for the “group” factor (F = 16.75, p < 0.001) and “group-time” interaction (F = 8.87; p = 0.01). Indeed, the post-hoc analysis revealed a significant increase of 3.5 (SD 2.65) points after intervention in the IG (p < 0.0001) but not in the CG when compared to the CG (0.7, SD 1.5 points; p = 0.285).
