Cardiovascular intensity attainment and walking outcomes for persons with spinal cord injury

Puntos clave

To investigate the relationship between locomotor training intensity and walking outcomes in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Examined locomotor training at varying intensities
Focused on individuals requiring physical assistance for walking
Monitored heart rate to ensure 70% HR max during rehabilitation
Participants demonstrated significant improvements in walking function
Higher training intensities correlated with better outcomes
Achieving 70% HR max was key for meaningful progress

Resumen

Higher locomotor training intensities were associated with meaningful improvements in walking function. Persons with SCI, who require physical assistance for ambulation, can achieve meaningful improvements in walking outcomes with attainment of 70% HR max intensity during inpatient rehabilitation.
