P-values provided for the significance level of the ANOVA comparing the three arm conditions (control, non-paretic, paretic)

a

Post-hoc multiple comparison test significantly differentiated descriptor associated with the paretic arm from all other arm groups. Significance of Correlations:

*

p<.05,

**

p<.01.

Note that generation and absorption powers have been described in terms of eccentric/concentric to facilitate interpretation.
