The Minimal Detectable Change for Balance and Balance Confidence After Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

Key Points

• The research aims to determine the minimal detectable change (MDC) for balance and balance confidence in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury.
• Used a population-specific standardization protocol
• Assessed the BBS and ABC Scale
• Evaluated test-retest reliability in individuals with spinal cord injury
• The MDC for the BBS is higher than those in other neurological populations
• The MDC for the ABC Scale is similar to existing reports
