Typical knee joint mechanics and muscle activity during walking (subject mass = 58 kg; speed = 1.3 m/s; step frequency = 1.8 Hz. Data from [24, 25]). A) Knee joint angle where 180 degrees is full knee extension. B) Knee joint angular velocity using the convention that positive angular velocity is motion in the extension direction. C) Knee joint torque with the convention that extensor muscle torques are positive. D) Knee joint power. E) Rectified and filtered electromyograms (EMG) from one knee flexor muscle (solid line) and one knee extensor muscle (dashed line).
