From: Foot strike pattern during running alters muscle-tendon dynamics of the gastrocnemius and the soleus
Simulations (pictured) of plantar flexor muscle-tendon mechanics were driven by electromyography data and joint angles. Processed electromyography signals were applied as muscle excitations. Excitations are visualized as a color gradient on the muscles from blue (low excitation) to red (high excitation). Joint angles, estimated from motion capture data, were used to prescribe lower body kinematics of a musculoskeletal model that was scaled to match each subject.
