Example video demonstrating exoskeleton deformation during the loading phase before a strike. To emphasize propodus shape change, the video is played back approximately 4.25x slower than in real life. This loading phase is typical in duration (442.5 ms). Original filming rate: 50,400 fps; effective rate after subsampling: 128 fps; playback speed: 30 fps.
