Background: Strengthening the lower extremities has shown to positively influence walking
mechanics in those with neurological deficiencies. Eccentric resistance training (ERT) is a …

Background: Individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) often experience general weakness
in the lower extremities that undermines daily step activity. Objective: To investigate the …

Abstract International Journal of Exercise Science 10 (1): 154-165, 2017 The purpose of this
study was to examine the effects of active lower body eccentric resistance training (ERT) in …

Background and Purpose: Recent research shows that individuals with an incomplete spinal
cord injury (SCI) have a reserve of force-generating capability that is observable during …

Muscle atrophy is a primary health concern in individuals suffering from spinal cord injury
(SCI). This change occurs as a result of the injury and subsequent limited mobility. The …

Background and Purpose: Walking in the home and community is an important goal for
individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). Walking in the community requires …

Background and Purpose: Previous data suggest that large amounts of high-intensity
stepping training in variable contexts (tasks and environments) may improve locomotor …

Study design: Single group, pretest–post-test study. Objectives: To determine the effects of a
non-task-specific, voluntary, progressive aerobic exercise training (AET) intervention on …

Study design: Longitudinal intervention case series. Objective: To determine if a 12-week
resistance and plyometric training program results in improved muscle function and …
