Specifically, the study will look at whether starting BWSTT, which uses a body harness to support body weight while walking on a treadmill at different times within the first 6 months after the injury, makes a difference in how effective this therapy may be, While we know that the brain re-learns patterns following an injury, there has not been a lot of prior research evaluating how starting this type of walking therapy at specific times within the first 6 months after injury may impact any effectiveness of the additional therapy.\n\nThe study will randomize participants into four groups: those who start this therapy within 60 days, within 3 months, within 6 months or who do not receive this additional research therapy. Randomization means that which group you will be in as part of this study is determined by chance, like the flip of a coin. The additional walking therapy for this research study, if you are randomized for one of the three groups who receives the additional therapy, will be given on top of (meaning in addition to) any standard of care therapies that you may be receiving at that time point after your injury.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '16 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* History of Acute and Traumatic SCI with AIS classification of B, C, or D between the neurological levels of C5 and T12\n* Between the ages of 16-74\n* Weight bearing as tolerated in bilateral lower extremities\n* Able to tolerate a harness\n* Ability to provide informed consent.
