Description
Summary:To investigate the effects of an 8-week walking training program on glycemic control, lipid profile, and inflammatory markers in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). A pilot, single-group, pretest-posttest study. A neuromuscular research laboratory. Eleven participants with chronic SCI. An 8-week walking training program using a treadmill, a body weight-supported system, and an assistive gait training device. Levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c ), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 were assessed before and after the walking training. Following the walking training, there was a statistically significant decrease in HbA 1c level (P
