The effect of exosuit assistance compared to baseline walking in limited community ambulators versus full ambulator subgroups of poststroke participants. The interaction effect is given (pX-value), which indicates if there is a difference between the effect of exosuit assistance between the two groups. If this was found to be consistent, post-hoc t-tests (p-value) were performed (and indicated) per ambulatory group. Ambulatory groups were based on a cut-off walking speed of 0.93 m/s. Interaction effects were only found for walking speed and COM propulsion, as well as ankle moment and power during push-off (not shown). Bar graphs represent mean and standard error. With SO Soleus muscle, GAS Gastrocnemius muscle, COM prop power the Center of Mass propulsive power, PF plantar flexion
