Summary
This pilot study will determine the feasibility of implementing a combinatory rehabilitation
strategy involving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with locomotor training (LT;
walking on a treadmill with assistance and overground walking) in men with testosterone
deficiency and walking dysfunction after incomplete spinal cord injury. The investigators
hypothesize that LT+TRT treatment will improve muscle size, muscle function, bone mineral
density, and walking speed.
