In the neurorehabilitation of gait the question arises whether arm swing should be allowed/encouraged. This question was addressed indirectly by having SCI patients step on a recumbent stepper with or without arm movements (on a device allowing mechanical uncoupling). It was found that the addition of arm movements enhanced activity in leg muscles such as biceps femoris, in line with similar results obtained on neurologically intact subjects. The effects were clearest for in phase arm movements but nevertheless there were some trends towards facilitation for alternating arm movements as well. Hence it is concluded that the design of robotic systems for gait rehabilitation should take into account that it may be beneficial to combine rhythmic arm and leg movements, as occurs in natural gait.
