From: Leg surface electromyography patterns in children with neuro-orthopedic disorders walking on a treadmill unassisted and assisted by a robot with and without encouragement

Figure 5

Linear envelopes of the sEMG: comparison between patients and healthy participants. sEMG mean amplitudes of the four muscles between the two groups within the different walking conditions. sEMG variability is indicated with ±1SD shades in the background of the average curve. P-values as well as Spearman correlation coefficients (ρ) are displayed in the graphs. Green = healthy children; grey = patients with neuro-orthopedic walking disorders. Differences in amplitudes between the curves are presented with the p-value; correlations with the ρ-coefficients. sEMG = surface electromyography; TA = tibialis anterior; GM = gastrocnemius lateralis; VM = vastus medialis; BF = biceps femoris; DGO = Driven Gait Orthosis; DGO & therapist = DGO walking with motivational therapist’s instruction.
