Figure 4

Representative plots of completed target-matching tasks. Each point on the plot represents the average magnitude of either stiffness, torque, or position produced by the subject during a trial. Torques and angles in the plantar flexion direction have negative magnitude by convention. During the experiment, the plot begins with no data, and is updated with a new data point following each trial. In each trial, the subject attempts to match the point as close as possible to the target (dotted reference line). The subject was able to adjust his or her own performance based on the results of the preceding trials.
