    Scatter diagram showing relationship between delay in termination of contraction during 3-second tibialis contraction and (A) lower-extremity FMA total score and (B) mEFAP total score. Delay in termination of contraction was defined as (delay in termination of the affected limb – delay in termination of the unaffected limb)/delay in termination of the unaffected limb.
