Background & objectives: Spinal Cord injury (SCI) can cause temporary or permanent changes in
normal motor or autonomic function of the spinal cord. These changes can
negatively affect a person's functioning and quality of life, also leading to
postural instability in sitting balance. Physical rehabilitation after spinal
cord injury (SCI) aims to optimize motor function, mobility and to improve
stability and postural control especially in sitting, as it is the most adapted
position. Objective was to study the difference between the effect of Task
specific training and Conventional Physiotherapy on sitting balance in patients
with Spinal Cord Injury.
Methods: 24 participants were involved. Group A were given Conventional
Physiotherapy and Group B were given Task- specific Training for 4 weeks
duration and the sitting balance was assessed by the t-shirt test, modified
functional reach test, and the BOBO Pro Pre and Post intervention.
Results and Interpretation: Then data analysis was done using paired and unpaired ‘t’ test.
Results showed statistically significant improvement in Group B than Group A.
