Effects of performance-based training on gait and balance in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Apr 28, 2019

Neville BT, et al. - In people with motor-incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI), researchers determined changes in balance and gait following a task-specific, performance-based training protocol for overground locomotor training (OLT). Participants in the study included 15 adults, with American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale C or D and > 6 months post-SCI. According to this convenience sample, pre- and post-pilot study, 14 participants completed the OLT protocol, and 15 sessions were completed by one participant due to scheduled surgery. The BBS scores exhibited a mean improvement of 4.53 ± 4.09. There were no significant changes in spatiotemporal gait measures. With a task-specific, performance-based OLT for chronic iSCI, participants demonstrated improvements in balance and selected gait characteristics.
