This trial is enrolling 14 individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries (at least 2 weeks after injury) to test the effect of a body weight support system (ZeroG) and soft exosuit (Myosuit) on dynamic balance and knee and hip kinematics during walking. If included, individuals will perform overground walking training in 3 conditions (in random order) at each laboratory session: 1) ZeroG body weight support system; 2) Myosuit; and 3) regular walking without support. Each session consists of 6 walking trials over a distance of 12.5 m. Balance, walking kinematics, and walking speed will be compared between the 3 conditions.

Details
- Individuals will perform overground walking trials in a laboratory setting with either 1) the ZeroG body weight support system, 2) Myosuit, or 3) regular walking without support in a random order. - Each condition consists of 6 walking trials over a distance of 12.5 m. - Balance, walking kinematics, and walking speed will be compared between the 3 conditions.
