At TO what are the angles at the hip, knee and ankle
Hip = 0 deg flexing Knee = 35 deg F Ankle = 20 deg PF
At MSw what are the angles at the hip, knee and ankle
Hip = 30 deg F Knee = 60 deg F Ankle = 0 deg
At FF what are the angles at the hip, knee and ankle
Hip = 30 deg F Knee = 15-20 deg F Ankle = 10 deg PF
At IC what are the angles at the hip, knee and ankle
Hip = 30 deg F Knee = 5 deg F Ankle = 0-5 deg PF
At MSt what are the angles at the hip, knee and ankle
All in neutral (0 deg)
At HO what are the angles at the hip, knee and ankle
Hip = 10 deg E Knee = 0 deg Ankle = 10 deg DF

What are the key bursts of muscle activity that occur in the transition from stance to swing?
- CONC contraction of ankle PF from HO to TO
- CONC contraction of hip flexion from HO to MSw
- ECC contraction of knee extensors ??
