What makes a patient a good candidate for the Lokomat? - T. George Hornby, PhD, PT

Those who have some sensory recovery in the first week or month post-injury, or those who have motor recovery—they're able to actually volitionally control some of their legs muscles. It doesn't have to be a lot, just a little bit—that's enough to tell us that there is a connection from your brain to your spinal cord. And if we have that little connection, we may be able to, not regenerate connections, but to re-strengthen whatever residual connections are left.
