Figure 1
Time waveforms (mean and standard deviation) of the active muscle force for the 20 muscles of the lower limb, obtained using two standard models in the AnyBody Modeling System, i.e. TLEM 1.1 (dashed line) and TLEM 2.0 (solid line). Red bars denote significant differences (SPM{t}, p < 0.05), with peak t* (t max) values shown for each region.

Figure 2
Mean RMSD for the comparison of muscle forces between the TLEM 1.1 and TLEM 2.0 models for four periods (IDS – initial double stance, SS – single stance, TDS – terminal double stance, SW – swing phase). Error bars represent one standard deviation. Abbreviations for muscle names are listed in Figure 1.

Figure 3
Time waveforms (mean and standard deviation) of the joint reaction force components for: (a) hip joint, (b) knee joint, (c) ankle joint (P_D – proximal [+] - distal [−]; M_L – medial [ +] - lateral [−]; A_P – anterior [ +] - posterior [−]). A comparison of the results obtained using the two standard models in the AnyBody Modeling System (TLEM 1.1 [dashed line] and TLEM 2.0 [solid line]) is shown. Red bars denote significant differences (SPM{t}, p < 0.05), with peak t* (t max) values shown for each region.

Figure 4
Mean RMSD for the comparison of joint reaction forces components (P_D – proximal [ +] - distal [−]; M_L – medial [ +] - lateral [−]; A_P – anterior [ +] - posterior [−]) between the TLEM 1.1 and TLEM 2.0 model for four periods (IDS – initial double stance, SS – single stance, TDS – terminal double stance, SW – swing phase). Error bars represent one standard deviation.
