Lower limb neuromechanics is an interdisciplinary field which combines neuroscience and biomechanics to study human movement and its relation to the brain, specifically in limbs below the waist. Lower limbs consist of four parts: hip bone girdle, thigh, lower leg, and foot[1] .
Muscles signals stimulated by neurological impulses are collected using electromyography (EMG). Leg muscles that are commonly recorded through EMG are the gluteus maximus, quadriceps femoris, rectus femoris, vastus medialis, soleus, lateral gastrocnemius, medial gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior.
