RAGT may be a useful technique for improving lower limb strength and cardiovascular endurance in SCI survivors. The usefulness of RAGT in enhancing static pulmonary function was not demonstrated by the study. However, these results should be interpreted with caution, given the low number of selected studies and subjects. Clinical studies with large sample sizes will be necessary in the future.
