Resumen

In this paper a pseudo-online analysis has been performed to detect the reaction of both healthy users and incomplete Spinal Cord Injury patients to obstacle appearance during walking. A new methodology to improve model has been described. It consist of discarding trials where brain responses to the obstacles does not correspond with the expected. The results suggest that during the experiments performed with patients, distractions or delayed reactions decrease the result. By appliying this methodology, results of patients increase more than 40% beign similar to the obtained with healthy users.
