Table 2.

The average and standard deviation of RMS errors for the sinusoidal reference trajectories with four different phase difference between ankle and subtalar joint reference trajectories: 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. The magnitude of the reference trajectory is the same as the one in Fig. 7. As the frequency component of the reference trajectory increases, the output tracking error increases too
