Fig. 2

Comparison of simulated and experimental sagittal plane kinematics for DMD1. A Simulated kinematics when only modeling weakness. B Simulated kinematics when modeling weakness and contractures. C Experimental gait kinematics. D Differences in kinematics between the TD model and the mean weakness model (light green), the TD model and the mean weakness + contractures model (dark green), and the experimental TD and DMD1 data (blue). Ant, anterior; DF, dorsiflexion; Ext, extension; Flex, flexion; PF, plantar flexion; Post, posterior; TD, typically developing
