Fig. 1. Mean ankle joint moment (A) and knee joint moment (B) of 10 subjects of one full descending stride cycle for all four step-heights: decreased 50% (dotted lines), standard (thin lines), increased 50% (thick lines) and increased 75% (thick broken lines). Vertical lines indicate foot-contact times [lift-off (LO) right, touch-down (TD) right and lift-off left] for all four step-heights, whereas 0 and 100% of the stride cycle indicate TD of the left (analyzed) foot. For clarity, standard deviations (s.d.) are omitted. The s.d. for the standard step-height can be viewed in Fig. 5.
