简要总结
This study aims to investigate the relationship between multifidus and gastrocnemius muscle thickness with postural stability in patients with spinal cord injury.
详细描述
Ultrasound imaging will be used to measure multifidus and gastrocnemius muscle thickness in patients with spinal cord injury. Postural stability will be assessed using the Berg Balance Scale, a clinical balance test consisting of 14 items that evaluate an individual's ability to maintain balance during various functional tasks such as standing unsupported, reaching forward, turning, and standing on one leg. The Berg Balance Scale is a reliable and valid clinical balance test that is commonly used in spinal cord injury patients. Statistical methods, including correlation and regression analysis, will be used to analyze the data and investigate the relationship between the multifidus and gastrocnemius muscle thickness and postural stability.

Relationship between gastrocnemius muscle thickness and postural stability
时间窗: 1 day
The relationship between gastrocnemius muscle thickness measured by ultrasound in cm and results of berg scale will be measured statistically by calculating correlation coefficients. The Berg Balance Scale is a widely used clinical assessment tool designed to measure balance and stability in individuals who may have balance impairments due to various conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, or multiple sclerosis. It consists of a series of 14 balance-related tasks that assess various aspects of balance, including sitting balance, standing balance, and dynamic balance. Each task is scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating better balance performance. The tasks involve different movements and challenges, such as maintaining sitting balance without arm support, standing up from a seated position, reaching forward while standing, turning around, and maintaining balance in different standing positions.
