From: Ankle-targeted exosuit resistance increases paretic propulsion in people post-stroke
Plantarflexor torque, power, and muscle activity increase during exosuit-applied resistance. (A) (Top) Difference between exposure and baseline (EXP-BASE) or post-exposure and baseline (POST-BASE) peak paretic ankle biological torque. Statistically significant increases relative to baseline (hatched bars) were observed during exosuit-applied resistance at all resistive force magnitudes. (Bottom) Average biological ankle torque across the gait cycle from all subjects during the baseline, exposure, and post-resistance periods in the HIGH condition. (B) Paretic ankle biological power. A statistically significant increase in peak power was also observed after removing resistance in the HIGH condition. (C) Average normalized soleus activity during stance. Increased soleus activity was statistically significant only in the HIGH condition
