Segmental motor strategy variables derived from global motor strategy variables. A: Examples (mean profiles ±1 standard deviation) for a typical participant of different contributions of the pelvis and trunk lowering to the global CoM lowering between AM and PM directions in the central phase. B: Contribution of segmental strategy variables to the global CoM lowering represented by beta standardized coefficients (β) for each reaching direction and each lower limb. Each bar graph represents a combination of the dominant limb of the healthy group with either the uninjured limb (D-UI limb) or the injured limb (D-I limb) of the LAS group (n = 20). C: Hip ADD angular velocities of the reaching limb for the injured limb (dotted line) and the control group (black line and shaded area; mean ± 1 standard deviation) in each direction and a summary (mean velocity ±1 SD) at three different time points in the central phase for the medial direction. Asterisks represent a significant difference between groups (MANOVA; p < 0.05).
