Background/Objectives: To evaluate factors related to the ability of ambulatory patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) to walk over small obstacles. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Thirty-four patients with SCI (ASIA impairment scale AIS D) who were able to walk independently at least 10 m with or without walking devices were recruited for the study. Participants were required to walk over small obstacles (1,4, and 8 cm in height or width; total of 6 conditions). A "fail" was recorded when either the lower limbs or the walking device contacted the obstacle. Multiple logistic regression models were applied to determine the effects of walking devices (presence or absence), SCI levels (tetraparesis or paraparesis), and SCI stages (acute or chronic) on the ability of obstacle crossing. Results: Fifteen participants (44%) failed to adequately clear the foot or walking device over obstacles in at least one condition (range 1-3 conditions). After adjusting for covariates, the chance of failure on obstacle crossing was greatly increased with the use of walking devices (odds ratio = 8.50; 95% CI = 0.85−75.03) Conclusions: Gait safety in independent ambulatory participants with SCI remains threatened. Participants who walked with walking devices encountered a greater chance of failing to walk over obstacles as a result of inefficiently moving the foot or walking device over small obstacles. Thus, instead of training in an empty/ quiet room, rehabilitation procedures should incorporate contextual conditions that patients encounter at home and in the community in order to minimize risk of injury and prepare patients to be more independent after discharge.
