The approach

How we treat this — and how we measure progress.

Spinal cord injury demands a different rhythm — slower, more technical, family-inclusive. Our protocol blends activity-based training, robotic gait trials, transfers training and a strict skin-and-bladder program co-managed with a urologist on retainer.

Typical recovery timeline

What recovery looks like, week by week.

Personal trajectories vary; this is the median path our patients follow.

  1. 1

    Weeks 1–4

    ASIA examination, respiratory work, sitting tolerance

  2. 2

    Weeks 5–12

    Transfer independence, wheelchair skills, FES cycling

  3. 3

    Weeks 13–24

    Robotic gait if appropriate, standing program, community access

  4. 4

    Weeks 25–32

    Home environment review, return-to-work planning

What to expect

No surprises. The first three weeks are predictable.

Family integrated from week one

Spouse or caregiver attends two sessions a week — transfers, skin checks, bladder routine.

Robotic gait when indicated

Selected incomplete-injury patients trial the Lokomat gait trainer twice weekly with measurable step-symmetry data.

Long-term follow-up

Quarterly check-ins for two years post-discharge, included in the program.

Techniques we use

Evidence-led methods, layered intentionally.

  • Robotic gait training (Lokomat)
  • Functional electrical stimulation cycling
  • Body-weight supported treadmill
  • Caregiver transfer training

2024 outcome data

78% of our incomplete spinal cord injury patients achieve household ambulation within 9 months. All patients leave with independent or assisted self-care plans.
