Table 2: Incidence of within-limb, interlimb reflexes (ascending, descending, and contralateral grouped). Interlimb reflexes were further categorised as ascending, descending and contralateral in participants with spinal cord injury (SCI) and able-bodied control participants (AB). Ascending and descending reflexes are divided into ipsilateral (I) and contralateral (C) reflexes. The numbers of participants, from a total of 17 for SCI and 5 for AB that demonstrated within-limb and interlimb reflexes are shown in brackets.
† indicates a difference from the overall interlimb reflex incidence
* indicates a significant relationship between having a SCI and the outcome (assessed by logistic regression)
