From: Ankle-targeted exosuit resistance increases paretic propulsion in people post-stroke
Propulsion increases during and after exosuit-applied resistance. (A) Difference between exposure and baseline (EXP-BASE) or post-exposure and baseline (POST-BASE) peak propulsion. Statistically significant increases relative to baseline (hatched bars) were observed in peak propulsion during and after exosuit-applied resistance. Increases surpassed the minimal detectable change (dashed line) [58] at the MED and HIGH resistive force magnitudes. A statistically significant effect of force magnitude (*) on after-effects (POST-BASE) was observed. (B) Average anterior-posterior ground reaction force (GRF) data across the gait cycle from all subjects during the baseline, exposure, and post-resistance periods. (C) Correlation between after-effects in peak propulsion during POST compared to BASE (y axis) and adaptations during EXP compared to BASE (x axis). A statistically significant moderate linear relationship was observed
