Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The fundamental questions that investigators want to answer are as follows:
* \[question 1\]: "Does multifidus and erector spinae EMG ES improve trunk balance in patients with complete SCI?"
* \[question 2\]: "Does multifidus and erector spinae EMG ES improve muscle thickness in patients with complete SCI?"

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
electromyography-triggered electrical stimulation
EMG ES was applied to the bilateral multifidus and erector spina muscles of the experimental group 3 times a week for 10 minutes in each session for 4 weeks. At the beginning of each session, the participants were instructed to position themselves in a comfortable sitting position.
EMG ES was performed using six self-adhesive electrodes (37 × 64 mm) and two Neuro Trac Myo Plus Pro devices.
Neuro Trac Myo Plus Pro
Electrical stimulation parameters; stimuli were monophasic, rectangular, stimulus duration 300 µs, frequency 25 Hertz, amplitude was increased up to a maximum of 100 milliampere until contraction was seen.
trunk eccentric exercises
The control group performed back eccentric exercises for 4 weeks, 3 times a week, 3 times in each session.
Trunk eccentric exercises
