Table 1. Means (±standard deviations) for the symmetry coefficients that were used to quantify the degree of between-leg gait symmetry for sagittal-plane joint angle, moment, and power at the hip, knee, and ankle (n = 26). Lower coefficient values indicate less symmetrical gait. Joint moments and powers were generally less symmetrical than joint angles.
