Visualisation of muscle activation during gait using an anatomically-based model of the lower limbs. Concentric contraction is indicated in yellow, isometric contraction in orange and eccentric contraction in purple respectively.

At 0.19 sec, notice gluteus minimus in action

Don't you mean

Yellow - Concentric

Orange - Eccentric

Purple - Isometric

?

Thanks! Very helpful. Currently working on correcting my trendelenburg gait and found this to be very helpful.

nice video!

At 0.06 second, notice the flexors of thigh, iliopsoas, quadriceps femoris and sartorius in action!

At 0.01 sec, peroneus longus and peroneus brevis help in straightening the foot and biceps femoris helps to keep knee straigh and gluetus muscles stab the side of the pelvis which is in air

AT 0.16 sec, see insertion of biceps femoris and semiteninosus and semi-membranosus
