Figure 5

Peak joint moments of each movement. (Top row) The relation between the peak joint moments of each movement. Plotted data include: the relation between peak joint moments at the ankle and knee joints (a); the relation between peak joint moments at the ankle and hip joints (b); and the relation between peak joint moments at the knee and hip joints (c). (Bottom row) The relation between peak knee and hip joint moments with 3 different ranges ankle joint moments. The peak ankle joint moments ranged from -0.11 to 0.4 N.m/kg (d); 0.4 to 0.8 N.m/kg (e); and 0.8 to 1.32 N.m/kg (f). The plots ((d), (e) and (f)) show the relation between the peak ankle joint moment and other two joint moments. Plots (d), (e), and (f) all show similar distribution profiles. The value of the peak ankle joint moment did not influence the distribution pattern of other two joint moments. Joint moments are the values for one leg. The cross mark plots indicated the data of the original experimental data.
