(A) Graphical representation of clinical assessment of motor strength, calculated with the ASIA protocol, for key muscles and other muscles in the lower limb (mean over all patients). The scale for a given muscle goes from complete transparency for no muscle activation (muscle strength score 0) to contraction against gravity (score 3). Time 0 of x-axis means day 1 of the neuro-rehabilitation training. (B) Patients with ASIA classification improvements: four patients changed ASIA classification over the course of the neurorehabilitation training, three moved from ASIA A to C and one moved from ASIA B to C. ASIA A is characterized by absence of both motor and sensory functions in the lowest sacral area, ASIA B by the presence of sensory functions below the neurological level of injury, including sacral segments S4-S5 and no motor function is preserved more than three levels below the motor level on either side of the body, ASIA C by the presence of voluntary anal sphincter contraction, or sacral sensory sparing with sparing of motor function more than three levels below the motor level, majority of key muscles have muscle grade less than 323. (C) Thoracic-lumbar control scale evaluates quantitatively motor skill of the thoracolumbar region. Score ranges between 0 and 65. It has 10 items that considers supine, prone, sitting and standing postures. In the present study, the last item (orthostatic position) was scored 0 due to the limitations of the pathology. (D) Functional assessment of autonomy in walking given by the Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury scale. The scale ranges between 0, for a patient who is unable to stand and/or to participate in assisted walking, to 20 for a patient who ambulates 10 meters with no walking devices, no braces and no physical assistance. (E) Correlation between average time spent in a standing position in orthostatic or gait training (mean +/− SEM, values are average hours per month) and mean frequency for bowel function (values calculated per month and z-scored per patient).
