ABLE POWER - Activity Based Locomotor Exercise PrOgram: Wait-list controllEd Research
At Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, rehabilitation for individuals with spinal cord
injury (SCI) is being led by the NIH funded NeuroRecovery Network (NRN) Community Fitness and
Wellness Program through the Activity-Based Locomotor Exercise Program (ABLE). Any individual
with a spinal cord injury who is eligible for the ABLE Program is eligible for participation
in the NeuroRecovery Network Research Project (NRN). The purpose of the ABLE POWER Study is
to evaluate the effectiveness of activity-based locomotor exercise programs in individuals
with SCI through a wait-list controlled design. Individuals who have a spinal cord injury and
are on the wait list for ABLE will be enrolled in this project for a year while they wait for
an opening in the ABLE program. Changes that occur while participants are on the wait list
will be compared to changes that occur after they are enrolled in ABLE. A difference in the
rate of improvement after enrollment in the intervention would be attributed to the ABLE
intervention. Individuals participating in the ABLE program will receive the ABLE
intervention regardless of participation in the ABLE POWER research study. In this design,
there will be two measures in the year prior to enrollment in ABLE, and two measures in the
year after enrollment, and the two time periods would be compared to the data collected at
enrollment into ABLE.

spinal cord injury, at any spinal level or time since injury. Individuals with
uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled seizures, uncontrolled autonomic dysreflexia,
uncontrolled hypotension, unstable angina, history of heart attack, osteoporosis, or
