ON stands for the robot-assisted training blocks (AssistanceON), while OFF stands for the catch-trial blocks without assistance (AssistanceOFF). The white-shaded rows are within-group differences, and gray-shaded areas rows are the interaction contrasts (between-group differences), performed when there was a significant Group x AssistanceON/OFF interaction as a result of ANOVA. Significant p-values are indicated in bold font.
