Summary

This study aimed to find out if high-intensity walking training works better than lower-intensity exercise to improve walking ability in people with chronic, incomplete spinal cord injuries. It involved 53 participants who did up to 30 training sessions over two months. Researchers measured changes in walking speed, endurance, and heart/lung fitness to see which approach was more effective.
