| Abstract | The purpose of this blind-assessor randomized crossover trial was to evaluate the effect of Vojta therapy (VT) and a balance training program (BTP) on dynamic sitting balance in individuals with thoracic chronic motor complete spinal cord injury(SCI). Eleven individuals with SCI(T2-T12, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA)class A-B)wererandomly assigned to undergoeither VT or BTPfor 45 minutes. One week later, the interventions were alternated. The primary outcome measures were dynamic sitting balance assessed viathe modified Functional Reach Test (mFRT) and the ability to don and doffa T-shirt (the T-shirt test). Gross motor function assessment (GMFA)was the secondary outcome. All assessments wereperformedimmediately before and after the intervention. The Mann-Whitney U test was usedto compare thechange score between interventions,and the Wilcoxon signed rank test wasused toanalyze thedata within anintervention. There was not significance difference at before between interventions.VT was superior to BTPin yielding a statistically significant difference in dynamic sitting balance and gross motor function (p-value<0.05). However, both interventionsprovedeffective in improving dynamic sitting balanceand gross motor function (p-value<0.05) in those suffering from motorcomplete chronic SCI. A 45-minute VT and BTP program was able toimprove dynamic sitting balance and gross motor function relating to the functional ability and activities daily living of individuals with thoracic SCI with a long post-injury time. |
