ABSTRACT
Recent advances indicate not only that the spinal cord has great potential for locomotor recovery after lesion but also that locomotor training can optimise this recovery through some form of 'learning'. Improvement of residual function can also be achieved through the use of various drugs and treatments such as spinal grafts. In spinal-cord-injured humans, a number of recent studies have allowed an objective quantification of the improvement of locomotion through various forms of training and stimulation.
