EMG leg indicates from which leg EMG measurements were recorded. BWS is body weight support provided by LOPES as a percentage of body weight. AS is amount of arm support exerted by the subject as a percentage of body weight. Speed is the walking speed exhibited in Figures 2, 3, and the range of speeds for Figures 4, 5 are shown parenthetically. Speed Ind. specifies the speed in which subjects did not need manual assistance. Speed Matched is healthy shod walking speed chosen for comparison against walking with NMC.
