Musculoskeletal models (right side; lateral view) of the mouse hindlimb and human lower limb during one gait cycle. Each muscle was represented by one or multiple line-segment muscle-tendon units. The mechanical properties of each muscle-tendon unit were characterized by a Hill-type muscle model [35], which used separate elements to represent tendon and muscle fiber (Fig. 2)
