Test-retest reliability was high with modification of the FRT with a single rater. The measurements reflected differences among levels of lesion. Further study is needed to determine normal values for all levels of lesion, relationships to functional outcomes, and effects of equipment on sitting balance. The modified FRT appears to provide reliable measurements of sitting balance in nonstanding persons with spinal cord injuries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
