Abstract: Objective To review the efficacy of different rehabilitation training on walking locomotion for chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) by Meta-analysis. Methods PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang Database, and Google academic search were applied to search for clinical trials on chronic incomplete spinal cord injury to review the efficacy of gait training. Meta-analysis was to assess the clinical trials by Rev-Man 4.2. Results Gait training improved the walking speed for chronic incomplete spinal cord injury. The efficacy of partial body weight support treadmill training combined with functional electrical stimulation was confirmed. The efficacy of artificial aided training and robot-aided training remained uncertain. Conclusion Gait training was effective to improve walking ability for chronic incomplete spinal cord injury, but the evidence was insufficient.
