A harness (Medical Harness*) worn
by the subject and connected to an overhead-motorized
or pneumatic lift (Neuro II†) suspended over the treadmill
provided the BWS. The level of weight support was
adjusted to maximize bilateral limb loading without the
knee buckling during stance. If the subject, while step
training with BWST, could not generate the appropriate
limb and trunk kinematics associated with locomotion,
manual assistance was provided. One trainer assisted
each lower extremity. One hand of the trainer was
placed on the anterior surface of the leg just below the
patella to assist with knee extension during stance
