Global body strategies along the vertical axis (A) and horizontal plane (C) in the central phase. A: the profiles for global CoM lowering (#) and for the peak-to peak velocity of the global CoM (# #) are illustrated for one limb of both groups (mean ± 1 standard deviation for healthy group and mean for LAS group; n = 10 trials per group) during the medial reaching direction on the SEBT. B: mean values (+1 standard deviation) for global CoM lowering and peak-to peak of CoM vertical velocity of both groups. C: CoM displacement in the horizontal plane (# # #) during the different conditions (directions and limbs) in both groups. Horizontal resultant lines of global CoM position at foot contact (doted circles) were calculated and used for further statistical analyses. D: mean values (+1 standard deviation) for global CoM in the horizontal plane. Asterisks in figures B and D represent a significant difference between groups (MANOVA; p < 0.05; n = 20 limbs per group).
