- Fall history is captured through a semistructured interview plus weekly self-reports, and a fall is defined to include slips or trips ending on the floor, ground, or a lower level. — Effectiveness of exoskeleton training on turning-while-walking and balance control in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury: protocol for a randomised clinical trial
- The Falls Efficacy Scale International measures concern about falling across 16 items rated 1–4, with higher scores indicating greater concern, and has reported test-retest ICC of 0.89 in older adults. — Effectiveness of exoskeleton training on turning-while-walking and balance control in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury: protocol for a randomised clinical trial
- In people with iSCI, turning while walking is linked to a fall risk higher than that reported in older adults and in some neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease or peripheral neuropathy. — Effectiveness of exoskeleton training on turning-while-walking and balance control in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury: protocol for a randomised clinical trial
- Psychological factors such as fear of falling and low confidence can further reduce turning performance in people with iSCI. — Effectiveness of exoskeleton training on turning-while-walking and balance control in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury: protocol for a randomised clinical trial
