Total average positive joint power and Δtotal average positive joint power tend to decrease with joint restriction. Restriction of the knee (restricted-knee, restricted-a + k) resulted in reduced a subject averaged (N = 15) total average positive joint power compared to the braced condition, and the restricted-a + k condition was significantly reduced in comparison to the restricted-ank condition. b Subject averaged (N = 15) Δtotal average positive joint power in the restricted-a + k condition was significantly more negative than the Δtotal average positive joint power in the restricted-ank condition. All a, b error bars are mean ± s.e.m. Asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference (post-hoc paired t-test with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparison, p < 0.05)
