A priori hypotheses and associated findings

Hypothesis	Supported by findings?
Individuals with CP would display no change in reflex excitability from bilateral to unilateral standing	Not supported Participants did have a significant reduction in reflex excitability from bilateral to unilateral standing (-26 ± 25%, p = 0.04)
There would be a significant positive relationship between more refined neural control during walking and an increased ability to modulate reflex excitability	Supported A strong positive relationship was observed (R = 0.79, p = 0.04)
Individuals with CP would display a decrease in soleus H-reflex excitability when walking with ankle exoskeleton resistance	Not supported No difference in reflex excitability was observed between walking with and without ankle exoskeleton resistance (p > 0.05), which variable responses to this paradigm
