Fig. 1
Self-selected walking speed measured during 10mWTs with and without the APO. On the left, colored bars represent the self-selected comfortable walking speed (m/s) measured during the 10mWTs in the following experimental conditions: (i) without the APO at the beginning and at the end of the session (NoAPObaseline and NoAPOfinal, grey), (ii) with the APO in assistive mode (AM, blue), (iii) with the APO in transparent mode (TM, bordeaux). The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is indicated with dashed horizontal lines. On the right, colored bars represent the percentage change in the self-selected walking speed with respect to NoAPObaseline. Aggregated data across participants are reported as means and standard error means. Colored dots represent individual study participants. The square brackets with the asterix indicate the statistically significant differences when comparing APO in AM versus NoAPObaseline and APO in TM (post-hoc test p < 0.05).
