Interventions

Activity-Based Therapy (ABT) primarily aims to promote functional recovery both above and below the level of spinal cord injury, while also targeting the whole body. The therapy involves intensive, ta

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study parameter is the change from baseline to endpoint in the physical function within the ABT group. More specifically, the change from baseline to endpoint in walking ability, muscle strength, trunk control, static and dynamic balance, sitting balance, grip force production, and respiratory function will be studied.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The secondary study parameters are the changes from baseline to endpoint in neurological recovery and quality of life measures. More specifically, mental status, impairment level, independence level, bladder and bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, pain, spasticity, and muscle power within the ABT group will be studied. Furthermore, we will also study the difference in the same study parameters between the ABT group and the CPT group.	—
