The changes of spinal function scores on baseline and after 1 year and 2 years of ATT (51 patients).

Years	ASIA sensory scores	ASIA motor scores	Barthel index	Ambulation index
Baseline	184.02 ± 23.57	78.86 ± 14.51	74.42 ± 22.40	3.92 ± 2.06
Year 1	209.33 ± 21.42*	93.75 ± 8.03*	93.43 ± 10.61*	1.63 ± 1.72*
Year 2	211.10 ± 19.96*	95.10 ± 8.34*	95.47 ± 6.25*	1.09 ± 1.36*

Each value represents mean ± SEM. *Improvement in values is statistically significant (𝑃<.05) from baseline (paired sample 𝑡-test).
