Fig 1 Experimental set up of STW with 38 markers (including 6 clusters) and 4 forceplates. The reference coordinates are the same for kinematics and kinetics.

Fig 2 Four STW phases (1–4), representing 100% movement time, defined by the timing of 5 events (I–V). The data originate from 1 trial of a control person. Thick lines represent traces of vertical force data from the first forthcoming swing leg and the ipsilateral buttock. Abbreviations: BW, body weight; x, anterior-posterior.

Fig 3 Variability of the STW performance in 6 trials in a subject with stroke (A) and in the matched control person (B). STW events (I–V) define 4 phases (1–4). The vertical lines illustrate phases in 1 representative trial for each person. Abbreviations: BW, body weight; x, anterior-posterior.

Fig 4 Group means and SDs of relative duration (in % of 100% movement time) of STW phases in subjects with stroke (n=10) and in control subjects (n=10). Vertical lines illustrate relative STW phase duration of the control group.

Fig 5 Interaction plot of relative STW phase duration grouped by group × phase. Group means and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of relative STW phase duration are expressed as percentages of 100% movement time.
