This is a trial involving individuals with chronic incomplete spinal cord injuries to test the effect of training with a device that applies small forces to the pelvis to increase the difficulty of forward walking (movement amplification with an Agility Trainer). The goal is to improve balance and walking function. If included, participants will undergo 20 gait training sessions with either 1) the movement amplification protocol; or 2) high intensity gait training on a treadmill. Final walking and balance assessments will be performed 3 months after the training sessions.
