This is a rehabilitation trial recruiting individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries to test whether a robotic training device (Lokomat) can improve walking function. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms: training for either 30 or 60 minutes, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks in a Lokomat. Walking ability will be tested before and after each training session, and 6 and 12 months after the last training session. Results of the two trial groups will be compared to determine which type of training is more effective.
