She was then asked to approach the force plate down the runway in a sequence commonly seen during grand allegro: arms prepared by sweeping to premiere en bas and moving to first position; tombe with the leading arm moving to second position and pas de bouree with the non-leading arm moving to second position; glissade while the arms allonge and return to first position as the jump ends; and grand jete with the arms extending into third arabesque.

To validate the experimental result, the estimated muscular forces were compared with the another experimental result (Figure 11(b)); muscular forces were estimated by using a model-based estimation algorithm, a camera-based motion capture system and a force plate were used to measure motion information, and EMG signals were also recorded for validation [63].
