Competing Interests

Partial reagent and participant compensation costs (50%) were paid through a contract awarded to J.S.M. by Normatec (Newton Centre, MA, USA). The funders did have a role in study design, but had no role in data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. Moreover, none of the authors have conflicts of interest and/or competing interests to disclose.
