Graph explanations and references

Approximate readings from the supplied curves. EMG is independently normalized activity, not muscle force. ECC: eccentric · CON: concentric; shading applies only to the named muscle.

Hip motion above is an approximate visual reading of Fig. 15.36, course textbook, ch. 15 (full citation pending), not an angle measured from the unchanged walking figure. Net torque and power do not identify individual muscle activity. ECC/CON labels are the conventional muscle–tendon-unit reading of joint torque and motion, not measured muscle-fibre behaviour.

Learning objectives

Follow supporting-side hip abductors, controlled opposite-side pelvic lowering, support transfer and adductor contributions through the right-leg cycle; distinguish EMG, joint motion, torque and power.
