in lower limb rehabilitation to reduce motor impairment and improve motor
performance in patients with traumatic spinal injury.</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Methods:</span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> The data were obtained by retrospective analysis of patients who
underwent lower extremity rehabilitation after traumatic spinal injury by
robot-assisted rehabilitation in the hospital between December 2017 and
December 2019. The results were statistically analyzed and shown as mean ¡À SD
