  1. The left side of the table shows the data of the shank and thigh muscles relative to the real stair climbing, the left side of the table shows the data of the shank and thigh muscles relative to the simulated stair climbing. Note a more phasic activation of the shank muscles and the correct activation of the thigh muscles, for what concerns activation time and duration.
