Values for input activity are provided in the form of an average firing rate. MN, motor neuron; RF, rectus femoris; VL, vastus lateralis; VM, vastus medialis; ST, semitendinosus; BF, biceps femoris. *During the task, cortical drive input transitions from 0 Hz to these values then back to 0 Hz. **During the task, afferent activity transitions from 0 Hz to values in this range depending on the level of afferent feedback.
