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

Abstract

Using a population-specific standardization protocol, the BBS and ABC Scale demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability in iSCI. The obtained MDC for the BBS is slightly higher than those reported in other neurologic populations, although the MDC for the ABC Scale is similar.
