Fig 2 Example gait data for women. (A) High-functioning person with greater negative power at the knee during preswing and initial swing and less negative power at the end of swing phase. (B) Low-functioning person generating less positive power during midstance (typically associated with moving the pelvis towards a more neutral position).

Fig 3 Example gait data for men; same persons in both plates. (A) Low-functioning person demonstrating more of a hip strategy in which greater positive power is generated at the hip to compensate for decreased power generation at the ankle (B).
