Kinematic and EMG Responses to Pelvis and Leg Assistance Force during Treadmill Walking in Children with Cerebral Palsy

Figure 6

Step length, (a), self-selected and fast overground walking speeds, (b), step frequency (c), swing phase ratio, (d), and single leg support time, (d), in children with CP before and after treadmill training with controlled assistance forces applied to the pelvis and legs through the 3D cable-driven robot. The bar and error bar indicate the mean and standard deviation of the spatial and temporal gait parameters across 10 subjects. Asterisk () indicates significant effect of treatment.
