Figure 6.12
Maximum voluntary force between stroke and elderly groups during (a) hand
grasp and (b) hand opening. The vertical bar is the maximum and minimum value within
the group. The shaded bar is the mean value within the group.

Figure 6.13
Comparison of the mean extension between 5 stroke and 5 elderly subjects
during hand opening (extension). (a) Showing the maximum extension achieved in all
cycles. Best result is 100% equals full extension. (b) Showing the maximum flexion achieved
in all cycles. Best result is 0% equals complete hand grasp position. The vertical bar is the
standard deviation and the shaded bar is the mean average.
