Exploiting Interlimb Arm and Leg Connections for Walking Rehabilitation: A Training Intervention in Stroke

Figure 8

Normalized background EMG and reflex amplitudes during walking. Background EMG is shown in line plots and reflex amplitude is shown in bar plots. Values are means (±standard error) averaged across all participants and normalized to the peak undisturbed EMG during walking. The horizontal bars below the y-axes represent the stance (solid line) and swing (dotted line) phase of walking. Significant differences between the pretest average and the posttest value are indicated with # for background EMG and for reflex amplitude.
