  1. The left side of the table shows the data of the shank and thigh muscles relative to the real floor walking condition, the left side of the table shows the data of the shank and thigh muscles relative to the simulated floor walking condition. Note a slight delay in the onset of the mean activation times for the simulated condition in respect to the real condition.
