Implication

Simulation study demonstrates biomechanical trade-offs of leg adaptations in human gait models, highlighting evolutionary drivers of locomotion efficiency.

Key Points

Lighter mass combined with smaller touch-down degree and lengthened legs enhances walking efficiency, whereas flat gaits reduce forward step distance.
Simulation across four mechanical parameters including leg stiffness and leg length reveals that flat walking trades velocity for altered vertical motion.
Findings highlight how skeletal adaptations optimized locomotion efficiency, indicating mechanical strategies that alleviate joint load at elevated mass.
