Combined translational and rotational perturbations of standing balance reveal contributions of reduced reciprocal inhibition to balance impairments in children with cerebral palsy

Goodness of fit for the extended sensorimotor response model and reduction in cost for the extended versus simple sensorimotor response model.

a) Goodness of fit values and error scores across all levels for all muscles for the extended (with antagonistic pathways) sensorimotor response model. Standard deviations are indicated in black. r2 = r squared; VAF = variance accounted for; RMSE = root mean square error. b) Improvement in cost (%) when using the extended versus simple (no antagonistic pathways) sensorimotor response model for all muscles. The cost is the squared difference between measured and reconstructed EMG. Boxplots in black indicate median and interquartile range, dots represent individual scores. Significant differences between groups (CP vs. TD) are indicated with a star and p-values. LG = lateral gastrocnemius; MG = medial gastrocnemius; SOL = soleus; TA = tibialis anterior. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) in orange, typically developing (TD) children in blue.
