Comparison of simulated and experimental kinetics for DMD3. A Simulated kinetics when only modeling weakness. B Simulated kinetics when modeling weakness and contractures. C Simulated kinetics when modeling weakness, contractures and midfoot break. D Experimental gait kinetics. E Differences in kinetics between the TD model and the mean weakness model (light green), the TD model and the mean weakness + contractures model (dark green), the TD model and the mean weakness + contractures + midfoot break model (medium green), and the experimental TD and DMD3 data (red). Abd, abduction; Add, adduction; DF, dorsiflexion; Ext, extension; Flex, flexion; PF, plantar flexion; TD, typically developing
