Stability, limb coordination and substrate type: the ecorelevance of gait sequence pattern in primates

NJ Stevens - Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The coordination of limb movements during mammalian locomotion has been well
documented in the literature. Most mammals use lateral sequence (LS) gaits, in which a …

Locomotor kinetics and kinematics on inclines and declines in the gray short-tailed opossum Monodelphis domestica

AR Lammers, KD Earls… - Journal of Experimental …, 2006 - journals.biologists.com
Small terrestrial animals continually encounter sloped substrates when moving about their
habitat; therefore, it is important to understand the mechanics and kinematics of locomotion …

Out on a limb: the differential effect of substrate diameter on acceleration capacity in Anolis lizards

B Vanhooydonck, A Herrel… - Journal of Experimental …, 2006 - journals.biologists.com
We investigated how substrate diameter affects acceleration performance in three Anolis
lizard species (A. sagrei, A. carolinensis and A. valencienni), representing three different …

Out‐of‐plane angular correction based on a trigonometric function for use in two‐dimensional kinematic studies

NJ Stevens, DO Schmitt, TM Cole III… - American Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract In two‐dimensional (2D) kinematic studies, limb positions in three‐dimensional
(3D) space observed in lateral view are projected onto a 2D film plane. Elbow and knee …
