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