| Summary / Zusammenfassung | The effects of rehabilitative gait training for spinal cord injury patients are not fully understood neither on peripheral nerve level nor on cortical and subcortical level. Therefore, a device was designed that imitates dynamic gait-like movements and can be used during functional magnetic resonance imaging. This innovative combination of technologies provides an unique possibility to investigate brain activity during rehabilitationrelevant tasks. | ||
