Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Change in ankle muscle strength using force transducer
Change in center of pressure displacement following balance perturbation using a force platform
Change in muscles EMG responses following balance perturbation
Secondary outcome measures
Change in EMG responses following vestibular stimulations during quiet standing
Change in intracortical mechanisms using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
Change in the excursion of the center of pressure following vestibular stimulations
+2 more
Other outcome measures
MOntreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Combined explosive strength and specific balance training groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This group will be formed with participants with incomplete spinal cord injury. This group will perform 4 weeks of combined explosive strength and specific balance training.
Group II: Spinal cord injury control groupActive Control1 Intervention
This group will be formed with participants with incomplete spinal cord injury. They will perform all the evaluation before and after a 4-week period of rest (no training).
Group III: Healthy control groupActive Control1 Intervention
Healthy participants will be recruited based on the age and sex of the participants with incomplete spinal cord injury to realize clinical and neurophysiological cortical evaluations.
