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

Comparison of the results of the tracking simulations in relation to the original experimental data used as input.

This is reported as root mean squared error for kinematics and kinetics; error is reported in degrees for rotational kinematics, millimetres for translational kinematics, Newtons for GRFs and Newton-metres for GRMs. Note that only the vertical component of the GRM is considered, as horizontal components in reality are practically zero (yet non-zero components can exist in the simulation, rendering any comparison approximate only). For entries pertaining to the limbs, error is reported as left limb/right limb.
