Extended Data Fig. 5: Variability of stride length: A potential reason for the effects of the robotic apparel.

From: Soft robotic apparel to avert freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease

Extended Data Fig. 5

Stride length arrhythmicity during timed 2-minute walking trials (n = 6 independent walking bouts for BASELINE and n = 6 independent walking bouts for ASSIST ON; P = 0.031). Each study visit was conducted on a separate day. A summary bar plot is presented as mean ± s.d., with an asterisk indicating a statistically significant difference (two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank test; *P < 0.05). Baseline includes both NO SUIT and ASSIST OFF conditions. The coefficient of variance (in stride length) was measured as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean.
