Comparison of simulated and experimental frontal and transverse plane kinematics for DMD3. A Simulated kinematics when only modeling weakness. B Simulated kinematics when modeling weakness and contractures. C Simulated kinematics when modeling weakness, contractures and midfoot break. D Experimental gait kinematics. E 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), the TD model and the mean weakness + contractures + midfoot break model (medium green), and the experimental TD and DMD3 data (red).
