Figure 2. Postural effects on local body representations.

(A) Posture of Feet posture influences controls’ and incomplete SCI individuals’ mental rotation of feet, but has no effects in the complete SCI group. For illustration purposes, the difference between the response times obtained in the crossed versus straight postural conditions is represented. Positive values represent longer latencies in mentally rotating feet in the (feet) crossed condition with respect to straight. Error bars represent standard errors. (B) Posture of Hands posture influences all groups’ mental rotation of hands. For illustration purposes, the difference between the response times obtained in the crossed versus straight postural conditions is represented. Positive values represent longer latencies in mentally rotating hands in the (hands) crossed condition with respect to straight. Error bars represent standard errors. The same color code has been used in Figs 3 and 4 (controls: light grey; incomplete SCI: grey; complete SCI: black).
