Personalized adapted locomotor training was positively regarded by participants. Addressing the perceived challenges may improve the training experience. Implications for Rehabilitation Personalized adapted locomotor training (PALT) is a high-intensity locomotor therapy tailored to an individual's goals. The experiences of individuals with iSCI highlight the impact of PALT on physical and psychological well-being. PALT has the potential to improve physical functioning and facilitate transitions from inpatient rehabilitation to community living. Findings suggest the need for adaptation of PALT to suit the unique needs of each individual.
