Figure 4.
Peak contributions of major muscle groups to mediolateral ground reaction force, as a percentage of body weight, at four walking speeds during (A) 0-6%, (B) 14-30%, and (C) 40-56% gait cycle. Peak contributions for each speed were determined after averaging contributions across all eight unimpaired subjects. Error bars span ± one standard deviation. Arrow indicates significant effect of speed on contribution. Table 1 lists the muscles indicated by each abbreviation. “Contra” indicates muscles on the contralateral limb; all other muscles are on the ipsilateral limb.
