Comparison of the improvement in the ROM of the bilateral knee between two groups. Comparison of the improvement in the ROM of the bilateral ankle between two groups. Details of cocontraction in the swing phase of the knee and ankle. Baseline comparison of patients in the experimental group and the control group.Values denote means ± SD unless specified otherwise. The skewed distributed variables (onset time, MAS, walking speed of the experimental group, symmetry index of the experimental group, affected stride length of the experimental group, unaffected stride length of the control group, unaffected hip ROM of the experimental group, unaffected knee flexion of the experimental group, and 6MWT of the experimental group) were presented as median ± interquartile range (IQR).Baseline characteristics of the patients with sEMG.Values denote means ± SD unless specified otherwise. The skewed distributed variables (onset time, FAC, and MAS) were presented as median ± interquartile range (IQR).Intragroup comparison of all the patients enrolled.Values denote means ± SD unless specified otherwise. The skewed distributed variables (walking speed in baseline of the experimental group, symmetry index in the baseline of the experimental group, affected stride length in the baseline of the experimental group, unaffected stride length in the baseline of the control group, unaffected hip ROM in the baseline of the experimental group, unaffected knee flexion of the experimental group, FAC of two groups, 6MWT of the experimental group, CCI knee in post of the sEMG control group, and CCI ankle in post of the sEMG control group) were presented as median ± interquartile range (IQR).Intergroup comparison of patients in two groups after intervention.Values denote means ± SD unless specified otherwise. The skewed distributed variables (unaffected knee flexion of the experimental group, FAC of two groups, 6MWT of the experimental group, CCI knee of the sEMG control group, and CCI ankle of the sEMG control group) were presented as median ± interquartile range (IQR).
