Pain was classified as neuropathic according to the classification scheme of Bryce and Ragnarsson.15 Below-level pain was determined if the pain was located to be more than three dermatome segments below the level of injury. Below-level pain severity was measured via a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale, and a rating was obtained from each participant before and after exposure to one 20-min virtual walking treatment. For a subset of individuals, QST was performed on an area skin at the dermatome associated with the level of injury after pain classification but before presentation of visual illusory stimuli
