Extended periods of tilt table standing have been observed to improve spasticity in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of three sessions of whole body vibration while tilt table standing on spasticity in individuals with a complete or incomplete SCI above the neurological level of T10. Participants in this study will undergo whole body vibration while standing on a tilt table for a total of approximately 14 minutes for a total of 3 sessions on 3 separate days. Spasticity monitoring will be evaluated prior to and after the intervention with the Modified Penn Spasm Frequency Scale, an interview to obtain the individual's perception and impression of the effect of whole body vibration on the performance of activities of daily living, quality of life, pain scale, and global impression of change.
