NextStep Atlanta is committed to offering SCI clients the opportunity to push their self beyond the expectations of standardized medical care
The theory behind Activity Based Therapy is to activate the neuromuscular system above and below the level of injury in order to retrain the central nervous system to recover function of a specific motor task. ABT weight-bearing exercises and motor skills training decrease spasticity and ignite the neural patterns that stimulate mobility. It draws on the central nervous system’s ability to spontaneously regenerate (neural plasticity) after injury in response to high-intensity physical activities like cycling and treadmill training. Locomotor training is a form of ABT that re-teaches walking by using a treadmill system in combination with manual assistance by specially trained staff. LT uses vigorous repetitive exercise to activate dormant nerve pathways by repeatedly stimulating the muscles and nerves below the injury site. It leads to enhanced neural communication and improvements in the ability to walk and stand while diminishing the detrimental consequences of physical inactivity such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, incontinence, and poor muscle strength.
