Abstract: Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that results in functional impairment and abrupt changes in the quality of the person’s life. Prokin 252N system of Tecnobody was used to assess static and dynamic stability in subjects with stroke, MS, and acromegaly. Recovery of balance ability during standing is therefore of the primary and essential aims of rehabilitative programs in individuals with SCI. Objective: To establish convergent, predictive validity and test-retest reliability of Prokin 252N for assessment of standing balance in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury. Design: Methodological study design Method: Thirty-one individuals between 20-65 years of age with iSCI were included in the study. Demographic characteristics of the cases were recorded including age, weight, height, and dominant extremity. Standing balance assessment evaluation of all volunteers was completed using Prokin 252N techno body balance system. Test-retest reliability was calculated using Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Convergent and predictive validity was calculated using the spearman correlation coefficient. Result: Based on the assessment the scores of BBS showed a moderate correlation with Limits of Stability (r = 0.570; p = 0.01), Ellipse Area Eye Open (r = -0.647; p= 0.000), Perimeter Eye Open (r = -0.493; P= 0.005), Standard Deviation Forward Backward Eye Open (r = -0.595; p=0.000), Standard Deviation Medio-Lateral Eye Open (r = 0.622; p= 0.000) and a weak correlation with Ellipse Area Eye Close (r = -0.394; p =0.0028). Perimeter Eye Close (r = -0.10; p =0.955), Standard Deviation Forward Backward Eye Close (r = -0.365; p =0.043), Standard Deviation Medio-Lateral Eye Close (r = -0.287; p =0.117). The scores of Limits of Stability showed a weak correlation with 10 MWT with (r = - 0.263; p = 0.153) for predictive validity. Test- retest reliability was found to be moderate to excellent (ICC= 0.64 - 0.93) for Prokin 252N standing balance done at a gap of 24 hours. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to examine the measurement properties of Prokin 252N for assessment of balance in SCI individuals. Balance assessment using Prokin 252N is moderately valid and highly reliable. There was an excellent test re-test reliability which increases its usability and wide acceptance.
