Kinematic and muscle demand similarities between motor-assisted elliptical training and walking: Implications for pediatric gait rehabilitation

Highlights • Motion patterns demonstrate similarities between Pedi-ICARE training and walking. • Motor-assisted Pedi-ICARE training diminishes muscle demands compared to walking. • Over-riding Pedi-ICARE motor increases hip and knee muscle demands vs. walking.
