“…This represents only a small percentage of all SCI subjects, who walk at high-energy requirements. 28 These findings are consistent with the restrospective data, reported in the modification of the original WISCI scale from 20 to 21 levels. 29 The correlation of LEMS with WISCI levels in this study is in line with the data recently reported by Marino in chronic SCI subjects 30 and both support the construct validity of the scale.…”

“…However, throughout the training period, they had acquired gait skills and thus improved their energy cost when performing the orthotic gait. When the present results for energy expenditure during orthotic gait are compared to those for energy expenditure during walking in neurologically normal persons, 17,18 although the levels of energy consumption are within a similar range, the levels of energy cost are considerably worse (approximately six times) during orthotic gait.…”

“…Bernardi et al [2] and Zamparo et al [3] found that this increase was inversely related to the walking speed spontaneously adopted by patients, and thus to the severity of neurological impairments. Energy expenditure is determined by the mechanical work done by muscles and by the efficiency of mechanical work production by muscles.…”
