  1. Numbers report increases in SSV in m/s with respect to baseline after 4 or 8 weeks of training. Standard deviations are listed to the right of the "±" sign. RT: robot-aided training with the Lokomat, MT: manual training.
  2. *The result after 4 weeks for the trial by Wirz et al. [76] is interpolated based on the reported result after 8 weeks, assuming a linear increase of walking speed over the course of therapy.
