Figure 5

Kinematics, kinetics and electromyography for therapist-controlled vs. patient-controlled orthoses. Mean data for two subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury walking at 0.54 m/s wearing the orthoses powered under pushbutton control by a therapist (therapist-controlled orthoses) and powered under pushbutton control by themselves (patient-controlled orthoses). Stride cycles begin (0%) and end (100%) at heel strike. Double support phases are indicated by vertical lines. The average standard deviation over the stride cycle for each signal and each condition is reported to the right of each plot in units consistent with that signal.
