The goal of this study is to compare the effect of training by the University of Utah's Treadport versus a conventional treadmill on gait improvement of spinal-cord-injury (SCI) patients. Four incomplete SCI subjects who had reached a rehabilitation plateau were selected to have training first on the treadmill and then the Treadport. Spatiotemporal and gait parameters were utilized to make a comparison between the two training conditions. Overall, the results demonstrated statically significant improvements in most of the spatiotemporal as well as some of the gait parameters during training with the Treadport relative to the traditional treadmill.
本研究的目的是比较犹他大学的履带式跑步机训练与传统跑步机训练对脊髓损伤（SCI）患者步态改善的效果。选取了四名已达到康复平台期的不完全性SCI受试者，先在传统跑步机上训练，然后在履带式跑步机上训练。利用时空参数和步态参数对两种训练条件进行比较。总体而言，结果表明，与传统跑步机相比，在使用履带式跑步机训练期间，大多数时空参数以及一些步态参数有统计学上的显著改善。
