External ankle and knee moment as a function of the shank angle on the slope. A Ankle and B knee moment characteristics for walking Up (left column) and Down (right column) the 10° slope. A shank angle of 0° (SA = 0) indicates a vertically oriented lower leg. The neutral point is reached when the ankle moment curve crosses zero, which is approximately at a vertical shank angle in controls and situation-dependent in TTA and TFA. Curves: TTA (red), TFA (blue), and controls (grey area); ESR (dashed lines) and MPF-M (solid lines)
