Computational modelling of muscle fibre operating ranges in the hindlimb of a small ground bird (Eudromia elegans), with implications for modelling locomotion in extinct species
Fig 10
Exemplar plots illustrating variation in normalized fibre length with respect to joint angle(s) in the static simulations, shown here for the combined results of simulations 1 and 2.
The FMTI actuates one DOF, the GL actuates two DOFs and the ITCr actuates three DOFs (only two of which are plotted here; hip abduction omitted for clarity). The coefficient of determination for a hyperplane fit is also given in each case. See Table 2 for muscle abbreviations.
