Training-Specific Neural Plasticity in Spinal Reflexes after Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 5

The relationship between reflex excitability and walking outcomes. (a) The inhibition in the soleus CMR was related to walking speed before Endurance Training (i). Change in the maximum inhibition of the CMR as a result of Endurance Training was weakly related to the improvement in walking speed (ii). (b) Clonus in the soleus was weakly related to walking speed before any form of training (i.e., at baseline) (i). Reduction in clonus was significantly related to improvement in walking speed (ii). Green and red data points correspond to P17 and P13, respectively, from Figure 4.
