Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Assess functionality in activities of daily living through the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scale, expecting an increase in its score ;Assess sensory level and motor level using the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Rating Scale expecting a shift to lower level ;Evaluate postural control using Clinical Posturography data using the Sensory Organization Test and the Functional Reach Test on a Force Platform, expecting scores that reflect better postural control	—
