Ankle-targeted exosuit resistance increases paretic propulsion in people post-stroke

Table 2 Changes in paretic propulsion metrics across force magnitudes relative to baseline

	Resistance Force Magnitude
	LOW		MED		HIGH
Variable	EXP	POST	EXP	POST	EXP	POST
Peak Propulsion (%BW)	0.87 ± 0.24	0.33 ± 0.29	1.50 ± 0.35	0.92 ± 0.31	1.29 ± 0.37	1.49 ± 0.58
Propulsion Impulse (%BW s)	0.25 ± 0.08	0.10 ± 0.06	0.27 ± 0.10	0.20 ± 0.10	0.29 ± 0.12	0.34 ± 0.16
Propulsion Impulse Symmetry (%)	3.2 ± 1.6	2.5 ± 1.5	3.7 ± 1.8	3.2 ± 1.9	3.5 ± 1.9	5.0 ± 2.4

Data are mean ± s.e.m. Each value is the difference relative to BASE for the corresponding condition. Statistically significant increases were observed in all measures of propulsion across the force levels investigated. N = 8 for all results presented. Bolded values indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05)
