Investigation of robotic-assisted tilt-table therapy for early-stage spinal cord injury rehabilitation
Colm T. D. Craven, MEngSc, et al.
This study investigates the use of a robotic-assisted
tilt-table to determine whether it may be of benefit to
people during the early stages of spinal cord injury
rehabilitation. This tilt-table may be used for exercise
in order to help maintain fitness and to reduce the
likelihood of developing cardiovascular health complications
later in life. We found that there may be
such a fitness benefit if this device is used regularly as
part of a training program. It may be of most benefit
if the person can participate and actively step with the
robotic assistance.
