Propulsion-based tuning of plantarflexion assistance parameters. (A) Biomechanical examination of paretic propulsion across a range of plantarflexion (PF) force profiles. (B) Clinical decision process used to select the exosuit PF force setting to use during training. (C) Peak paretic propulsion for each tested exosuit force setting examined before and after REAL gait training. Abbreviations: PF – Plantarflexor; AP GRF – Anterior-posterior ground reaction force; MDC – Minimal Detectable Change threshold
