		<description><![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that predict whether a person with motor incomplete spinal cord injury will respond to body-weight–supported treadmill training. Demographic, clinical, and electrophysiological measurements taken prior to training were examined to determine which measures best predicted improvements in walking speed in 19 individuals with chronic (&#62;7 months [...]
