Reactive balance training (RBT) can improve balance control; however, it is difficult to participate in RBT without the ability to initiate a reactive step independently. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been used to facilitate participation in RBT. FES applied to the common fibular nerve (CFN) following iSCI initiates a flexor withdrawal response, promoting rapid hip and knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion, potentially aiding the execution of reactive stepping responses. This cross\u2010sectional study aimed to evaluate the orthotic (i.e., immediate) effect of FES on reactive stepping parameters in participants with chronic, motor iSCI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixteen individuals with chronic motor iSCI completed the Lean\u2010and\u2010Release test, which elicits reactive stepping through a simulated forward fall. Participants completed 10\u201320 trials, with FES applied in half at random. The behavioral response (i.e., single\u2010step, two\u2010step, \u2265\u20093\u2010step, or fall) of each trial was recorded. Temporal parameters (i.e., foot\u2010off time, swing time, and stepping time) and spatial parameters (i.e., length, height, and width) of the first reactive step were also recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The proportion of single\u2010step (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.31), two\u2010step (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.19), \u2265\u20093\u2010step (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.44) and fall (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.42) behavioral responses did not differ between FES and No\u2010FES conditions.
