2 Fig. 1 Subject walking in the STAT device. Note that the subject uses the grab bars only for balance, not support. The therapist can concentrate on provision of guidance for limb position.

3 Fig. 2 Gait outcomes—(A) gait speed, (B) distance, and (C) energy cost—for each of the subjects at baseline; after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of training; and at follow-up (24wk), after the completion of training.

4 Fig. 3 Scores for the averaged activity from (A) all voluntary maneuvers, from (B) voluntary right ankle dorsiflexion, and (C) plantarflexion for the 3 subjects in the STAT trial (labeled as in fig 2). The values on the horizontal axis are the average electromyographic amplitudes for these maneuvers, with “b” as baseline and “e” as end of training. On the ordinate are the motor score values for the same maneuvers, representing the similarity of the patterns of activation of the muscles (for both left and right lower extremity muscles) to the prototype patterns derived from the same maneuvers for a group of 10 neurologically intact subjects. The range of the healthy subject responses computed in the same manner is indicated by the ellipse in each graph. Note that the range of absolute amplitudes for the plantarflexion maneuver denoted by the ellipse is quite constrained in the healthy subjects (C). Abbreviation: RMS, root mean square.
