Figure 4. — (a) A representative distribution of torsion along the normalized lengths of the SFA and PA in the walking (110°), sitting (90°) and gardening (60°) postures. (b) Distribution of Green shear strains along the normalized lengths of the SFA and PA in the gardening (60°) posture. SFA spans from the take off of the profunda femoris artery (PF) to the adductor hiatus (AH) segment. PA starts at the AH and continues to the tibial peroneal trunk (TPT). Note gradually higher torsion with increasing limb flexion and its non-uniform distribution along the length of the FPA. (Online version in colour.)
