This work include:

"Analyses_H1_H2.m"
Matlab code to test hypothesis H1 & H2 in the paper above by analyzing DM and HR-ARM pressure
data (and EMG values for DM) from subjects that are stored in "DM_HR-ARM_Data.mat".
It generates six base MATLAB plots (*.fig) that are brought together in the Fig 5(A-D) and Fig 6 of the paper.
Please refer to the comment section at the beginning of the file.
Please only use MATLAB R2018a or higher (Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA) to run this.


"DM_HR-ARM_Data.mat"
DM and HR-ARM pressure data (and EMG values for DM) from subjects.
This file is not meant to be opened standalone.
Please use "Analyses_H1_H2.m" code which accesses this file.


“Survey_Data.csv”
Summary of the surveys on the comfort level of each device is stored in “Survey_Data.csv”.


“Analyses_H3.m”
Use MATLAB again to run the “Analyses_H3.m” to get the p-values for comparison of the comfort levels.


“DM Intraobserver Variability.xlsx”
Provides the Intraobserver variability for the DM device.
For HR-ARM, please refer to the literature.


“DM Intraobserver Variability.csv”
Comma separated format of “DM Intraobserver Variability.xlsx” in case there is a compatibility issue.


NOTE:
In all files, units for all pressure data are in [mmHg].
Units for EMG change data are in [uV/uV].
