Fourteen trials included people with recent SCI (that is,
less than 1 year), 16 trials included people with chronic
SCI (that is, more than 1 year) and one trial did not specify
time since injury other than to say subjects were more than 3
months since injury.26 There were approximately equal
numbers of trials including people with complete and
incomplete SCI, and people with tetraplegia and paraplegia.
The most common outcome measures were walking speed
(five trials), joint range of motion (eight trials) and exercise
capacity (four trials).
