Activity-Based Therapy in a Community Setting for Independence Mobility and Sitting Balance for People With Spinal Cord Injuries

摘要

Introduction:Activity-based therapy (ABT) aims to activate the neuromuscular system below the level of the spinal cord lesion and promote recovery of motor tasks through spinal reorganisation, motor learning and changes to muscles and sensory system. We investigated the effects of a multimodal ABT program on mobility, independence and sitting balance in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
