Predicting gait adaptations due to ankle plantarflexor muscle weakness and contracture using physics-based musculoskeletal simulations
Fig 10
Ankle kinematics and kinetics for severe contracture.
Simulated ankle kinematics and kinetics for unimpaired walking (black lines) and walking with severe contracture (orange lines) are compared to experimental data of unimpaired individuals (gray area) [58]. Ankle dorsiflexion (top) and ankle plantarflexion moment (bottom) are plotted for cases of SOL (left), GAS (middle), and PF (right) contracture.
