### Signal from M. Extensor Digitorum Lateralis  
For the m. extensor digitorum lateralis, sEMG signal features varied across signal variations in both gaits, as shown in Table 5. \begin{table}

Table 4: Mean signal loss (%) and residual signal (%) data compared between signal variants (low-pass filtered with a 10 Hz cut-off frequency, bandpass filtered with a 40–450 Hz cut-off frequency, and bandpass filtered with a 7–200 Hz cut-off frequency) for signals obtained from the m. extensor digitorum communis during walk and trot. Figure 3: Selected representative sEMG signals obtained from the m. extensor digitorum communis during walk (**A–D**) and trot (**E–H**). (**A**,**E**) signal loss (%) and residual signal (%) data. (**B**,**F**) Segment of burst after a low-pass 10 Hz filtering (red line) on the background of the raw signal (black line). (**C**,**G**) Segment of burst after a bandpass 40–450 Hz filtering (blue line) on the background of the raw signal (black line). (**D**,**H**) Segment of burst after a bandpass 7–200 Hz filtering (green line) on the background of the raw signal (black line). During both gaits, amplitude was lower than in the raw signal after bandpass filtering at 40-450 Hz, even lower after bandpass filtering at 7-200 Hz, and lowest after low-pass filtering at 10 Hz, as clearly shown in Figure 4. RMS was lower than in the raw signal after bandpass filtering at 40-450 Hz and lowest after low-pass filtering at 10 Hz and bandpass filtering at 7-200 Hz. MF was lower than in the raw signal after bandpass filtering at 40-450 Hz, even lower after bandpass filtering at 7-200 Hz, and lowest after low-pass filtering at 10 Hz. SNR was higher than in the raw signal after bandpass filtering at 40-450 Hz and lower than in the raw signal after low-pass filtering at 10 Hz and bandpass filtering at 7-200 Hz. For the m. extensor digitorum lateralis, mean signal loss, and mean residual signal varied across cut-off frequencies, as illustrated in Figure 4A,E. During both gaits, signal loss was highest after bandpass filtering at 7-200 Hz and low-pass filtering at 10 Hz, and lower after bandpass filtering at 40-450 Hz, as shown in Table 6.
