Any alteration in the availability of sensory information can challenge postural stability in this population and may lead to a variety of adaptive movement coordination patterns. Hence, identifying the underlying impairments and changes to movement coordination patterns is necessary for effective rehabilitation post-iSCI. This study aims to compare the postural control strategy between iSCI and able-bodied populations by quantifying the trunk\u2013leg movement coordination under conditions that affects sensory information.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>13 individuals with iSCI and 14 aged-matched able-bodied individuals performed quiet standing on hard and foam surfaces with eyes open and closed.

However, we observed a decreased ability post-iSCI in adapting inter-segment coordination changing from ankle strategy to ankle\u2013hip strategy at higher frequencies (f\u2009&gt;\u20091.0\u00a0Hz). Moreover, utilizing the ankle\u2013hip strategy at higher frequencies was challenged when somatosensory input was distorted, whereas depriving visual information did not affect balance strategy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Trunk\u2013leg movement coordination assessment showed sensitivity, discriminatory ability, and excellent test\u2013retest reliability to identify changes in balance control strategy post-iSCI and due to altered sensory inputs.
