Abstract
This is a cross-sectional study for seated postural control in spinal cord injury. The general
goal of the present study was to further understand seated postural control of individuals
with SCI in various di erent conditions (e.g. manipulations of vision, proprioception, and
task constraints). The overall purpose was to test the predictions of the loss of complexity
hypothesis and the loss of adaptability hypothesis on seated postural control of persons with
and without SCI. The general hypothesis was that seated postural control of individuals
with SCI would be in
uenced by SCI injury level, sensory information (vision and proprioception)
and task constraints. Three experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis.
These experiments consisted of a series of manipulations of a sensory information (proprioception)
and task demands. The results of the present research project leads
