TLDR
The Romberg ratios (eyes open/eyes closed) for COP MV and SA were significantly higher for individuals with SCI, indicating a higher contribution of visual inputs for postural steadiness in that population.About:

Center of pressure velocity reflects body acceleration rather than body velocity during quiet standing.
TL;DR: The COP Velocity fluctuation reflects the COM acceleration fluctuation rather than the COM velocity fluctuation, implying that the neural motor command controlling quiet standing posture contains a significant portion that is proportional to body velocity.

Center-of-pressure total trajectory length is a complementary measure to maximum excursion to better differentiate multidirectional standing limits of stability between individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury and able-bodied individuals.

TL;DR: The comfortable multidirectional limits of stability test provides supplementary information and could serve as an adjunct to the quasi-static test when evaluating postural balance in an incomplete spinal cord injury population.

TL;DR: For individuals with severe SCI, walking proficiency in the ReWalk requires about 45 sessions of training, and the training was accompanied by functional improvements in some, especially in people with incomplete injuries.

Measuring balance confidence after spinal cord injury: the reliability and validity of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale.
TL;DR: The ABC scale is a reliable and valid measure of balance confidence in community-dwelling, ambulatory individuals with chronic iSCI and demonstrates discriminative validity.

TL;DR: Overall results show that the simple act of standing quietly depends on a remarkably complex sensorimotor control system.

Measures of postural steadiness: differences between healthy young and elderly adults
TL;DR: Evaluating the relative sensitivity of center-of-pressure (COP)-based measures to changes in postural steadiness related to age found mean velocity of the COP was the only measure that identified age-related changes in both eye conditions, and differences between eye conditions in both age groups.

Using psychometric techniques to improve the balance evaluation systems test: the mini-bestest
TL;DR: The new 14-item scale (dubbed mini-BESTest) focuses on dynamic balance, can be conducted in 10-15 min, and contains items belonging evenly to 4 of the 6 sections from the original BESTest.
