  1. Shows the value and SD of maximum joint angles and ground reaction forces. MHF and MHE of both limbs showed significant interactions between ASSIST and TIME (p < 0.05). Also, Fy2 showed a significant interaction between ASSIST and TIME (p < 0.05). p-value is for the difference between pre- and post-trials by multiple comparisons. a indicates the significant main effect between pre- and post-trials
