Intralimb coordination during locomotion. Intralimb joint-joint coordination plots for sham and incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) groups. Forelimb intralimb coordination is expectedly unaffected by the injury. Hip-Ankle coordination simplifies significantly with the two joints extending and flexing in unison. Ankle-Knee plots show a loss of the second co-extension phase with the ankle pre-extended before the knee begins extension. Lines are mean (solid) plus SEM (dashed). Circles mark a time spacing of 8.33 ms with solid indicating stance and open indicating swing. n = 5 per group.
