This trial is enrolling individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries for less than 12 months to test the effect of using a rehabilitation robot device (ROBERT®) on muscle strength. If included, participants will undergo either: 1) Standard 45-min physiotherapy (3-5 times a week, for 8 weeks) plus 3-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions of muscle strength training (hip flexion) with the ROBERT®, 3 times a week, for 8 weeks; or 2) standard 45-min physiotherapy (3-5 times a week, for 8 weeks). Final testing will be performed after 8 weeks.
