Arm-leg rope pulley system. Subjects walked on a split-belt force measuring treadmill while attached to a simple device that connects the ipsilateral arm and leg using a rope. The horizontal pulley bars are height adjustable, allowing for relative changes in rope length. Furthermore, the load cell is in series with the rope and used to measure rope tension during treadmill walking. Note that the reflective markers were attached to both sides while EMG sensors were placed only on the right side of the body due to a limited number of sensors available in our lab
