Fig. 2

Changes in spatiotemporal parameters measured during the 10mWTs with and without the APO. Colored bars represent the variation in the spatiotemporal parameters in different walking conditions, compared to walking without the APO at the beginning of the session (NoAPObaseline). Walking conditions are the following: walking with the APO providing assistance (AM, blue), with the APO in transparent mode (TM, bordeaux) and without APO at the end of the sesison (NoAPOfinal, grey). From left to right, spatiotemporal parameters are cadence (steps/min), stride length (cm), paretic step length (cm), nonparetic step length (cm). Aggregated data are reported as means and standard errors. Colored dots represent individual study participants. The asterix indicate the statistically significant differences when comparing to NoAPObaseline (post-hoc test p < 0.05).
