Table 4 Kinematics for therapist-controlled and patient-controlled orthoses by speed. Mean ± standard error and statistical results for kinematics of two subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury who walked wearing orthoses powered under pushbutton control by a therapist (TC) and wearing orthoses powered under pushbutton control by the patient him/herself (PC) for 0.36 m/s, 0.54 m/s, 0.72 m/s and 0.89 m/s.
