Changes in muscular activation. a Raw signal and envelope of the electromyography (EMG) of the biceps brachii and long head of the triceps brachii during five consecutive movements, performed in the powered (black) and unpowered (grey) conditions. b Net change (powered - unpowered) of the root mean square of the EMG signal of both evaluated muscles, for the three velocities. Translucent circles are the values for each individual subject, opaque contoured circles indicate the mean over subjects. Circles in grey are outliers, identified through a Thomson tau analysis. Asterisks indicate significant difference from 0. c Change in the activity of the biceps brachii, expressed as percentage of its activity in the unpowered condition (net change/unpowered). Assistance from the exosuit singificantly reduces muscular effort (64.8±7.66%, p = 5×10−15). Error bars show the standard error of the mean
