From: Center-of-pressure total trajectory length is a complementary measure to maximum excursion to better differentiate multidirectional standing limits of stability between individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury and able-bodied individuals

Figure 1

Comparison of performance for two parameters of the comfortable multidirectional limits of stability test between individuals with a spinal cord injury and able-bodied individuals. AL: anterolateral; PL: posterolateral. A) The COPmax represents the maximal distance reached by the center of pressure in every direction. Although differences in performance between the groups can be seen in most directions, none reached the adjusted level of statistical differences (0.00625 (0.05/8 directions)). B) The COPlength represents the length of the COP trajectory from the starting position to the maximal position in a given direction. Individuals with SCI had significantly longer COPlength in all but one direction (180°) as compared to able-bodied individuals.
