N2 - This paper presents a protocol appropriate for monitoring plastic changes following bio-robotic interventions for rehabilitation of gait in individuals suffering from spinal cord injury. The protocol includes methods for monitoring descending motor and ascending sensory pathways, intrinsic spinal circuits and the level of functionality of a spinal cord injured individual. It is expected that the usage of the presented protocol and the considerations presented in this paper, would lead to improved understanding of the plastic changes across the neuroaxis in relation to bio-robotic based rehabilitation, and ultimately lead to a better understanding of the relation between the plastic changes and the therapeutic effects thereof.
