Fig. 3

Trunk muscle EMG amplitudes across baseline and walking conditions. Comparison of EMG amplitude recorded during quiet supine lying and robot-assisted walking conditions. The average RMS EMG amplitude in rectus abdominis (a) external oblique (b), and erector spinae (c) during quiet supine lying (BAS), Lokomat-assisted walking (Loko-TM), Ekso on the treadmill (Ekso-TM) and Ekso overground walking (Ekso-OG) are plotted for each SCI participant (represented by different coloured circles). Grey bars represent the RMS EMG amplitude averaged across all SCI participants and error bars represent the standard deviation. Values from left and right homologous muscles were expressed as % MVC and summed bilaterally. * = p < 0.0125
