Details
Ultrasound imaging will be used to measure multifidus and gastrocnemius muscle thickness in patients with spinal cord injury. Postural stability will be assessed using the Berg Balance Scale, a clinical balance test consisting of 14 items that evaluate an individual's ability to maintain balance during various functional tasks such as standing unsupported, reaching forward, turning, and standing on one leg. The Berg Balance Scale is a reliable and valid clinical balance test that is commonly used in spinal cord injury patients. Statistical methods, including correlation and regression analysis, will be used to analyze the data and investigate the relationship between the multifidus and gastrocnemius muscle thickness and postural stability.
Good to know: Potential benefits are defined as outcomes that are being measured during and/or after the trial.
