The measurement properties of the Lean-and-Release test in people with incomplete spinal cord injury or disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate test-retest reliability, agreement, and convergent validity of the Lean-and-Release test for the assessment of reactive stepping among individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury or disease (iSCI/D).

Design

Multi-center cross-sectional multiple test design.

Setting

SCI/D rehabilitation hospital and biomechanics laboratory.

Participants

Individuals with motor incomplete SCI/D (iSCI/D).

Interventions

None.

Outcome measures

Twenty-six participants attended two sessions to complete the Lean-and-Release test and a battery of clinical tests. Behavioral (i.e. one-step, multi-step, loss of balance) and temporal (i.e. timing of foot off, foot contact, swing of reactive step) parameters were measured. Test-retest relia
