Abstract
This study demonstrated weak evidence to support the use of BWST interventions for overground training for balance rehabilitation in individuals with iSCI. A combination of BWST with stimulation however showed promising results. There is a need for further RCTs in this field to generalize findings. Virtual reality-based balance training has shown significant improvement in standing balance post iSCI. However, these results are based on single group pre-post trials and lack appropriately powered RCTs involving a larger sample size to support this intervention. Given the importance of balance control underpinning all aspects of daily activities, there is a need for further well-designed and appropriately powered RCTs to evaluate specific features of training interventions to improve standing balance function in iSCI.
