体重支撑跑步机训练（BWSTT）作为一种改善脊髓损伤（SC）后功能行走的方法在世界范围内得到广泛应用。然而，这种疗法是非常劳动密集型的，最近的证据表明，在改善运动能力方面，它可能并不优于其他更传统的康复形式。认识到BWSTT的价值可能远远超出其改善功能行走的潜力是重要的，并且与这种全身直立运动相关的生理和心理益处可能证明其在急性和慢性SCI人群中的应用是合理的。
Body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) is being used throughout the world as a method for improving functional ambulation after spinal cord injury (SC). This therapy, however, is very labor-intensive, and recent evidence suggests that it may not be superior to other more conventional forms of rehabilitation for improving locomotor ability. Recognizing that the value of BWSTT may extend well beyond its potential to improve functional ambulation is important, and the physiological and psychological benefits associated with this whole-body upright exercise may justify its use in both the acute and chronic SCI populations.
