The Application of Computer Musculoskeletal Modeling and Simulation to Investigate Compressive Tibiofemoral Force and Muscle Functions in Obese Children

Figure 3

(a) Represent the compressive tibiofemoral force over a gait cycle during normal walking. The solid lines represent the mean compressive tibiofemoral force for the OB group, while the dotted lines represent the mean compressive tibiofemoral force for the NW group. (b) Represented the forces of three major muscle groups acting at the knee.
