Fig 1 Individual data of paretic leg (PL) plotted against the nonparetic leg (NPL) of patients with stroke who had both legs tested (ie, 10 patients) of (A) MVT, (B) ½RT, (C) maximal rate of torque development (MRTD), (D) time to maximum rate of torque development (tMRTD), and (E) fatigue index (FI). Some data points were missing in D (n=7) and E (n=6) because the force signals were unreliable (as a result of spasms and failure to relax during the stimulations).
