Abstract

Walking on the Lokomat, a motorized robotic gait orthosis (MRGO), was assessed as a method of increasing metabolic activity in individuals with high spinal cord injury. We assessed 11 participants, comparing sessions of robotic walking to passive pedaling, measuring oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. The robotic walking did increase the metabolic markers, while the passive pedaling did not.
