iSCI patients were classified according to the ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) [58]. The capabilities of the iSCI patients were assessed with the mobility subscore of the SCIM III questionnaire [59], which can range from 0 to 30, and with the WISCI II score [60], which can range from 0 to 20. For both scores, higher values indicate better mobility. Patients P1 and P2 were not able to train with the patient-cooperative controller, patients P11 and P14 dropped out because of personal reasons.
