This trial is recruiting individuals with bladder and sexual dysfunction as a result of spinal cord injury. This rehabilitation study will see if activity based training (ABT) activates the nerves and muscles below the level of injury, with the goal of improving bladder and sexual functions. Participants will train for 1 hour, 5 days a week, for 16 weeks. Each will be assigned to one of tree trial arms. One group will receive locomotor training (stepping on a treadmill). A second group will receive standing training, and a third will receive arm crank training. Assessments of bladder function and questions about sexual function will be completed over a period of 5 years.
