CH groups’ arms are shown individually (P = paretic, NP = nonparetic), and both arms of the TD group are combined. Primary tasks (1°) are listed in the left column (SB = shoulder abduction, SD = shoulder adduction, EF = elbow flexion, EE = elbow extension, WF = wrist flexion, WE = wrist extension, FF = finger flexion, FE = finger extension). Each primary task has 3 secondary joint torques associated with it, which are listed in the second column (S = shoulder, E = elbow, W = wrist, F = fingers). Data were tested for a difference from zero using a Student’s t test, and comparisons that reached a significant level of P < .05 are highlighted in gray. For significant findings, the direction of the secondary torque is indicated in parentheses (B = abduction, D = adduction, F = flexion, E = extension).
