Body mass distribution and gait mechanics in fat-tailed dwarf lemurs (Cheirogaleus medius) and patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas)

JW Young, BA Patel, NJ Stevens - Journal of Human Evolution, 2007 - Elsevier
Most quadrupeds walk with lateral sequence (LS) gaits, where hind limb touchdowns are
followed by ipsilateral forelimb touchdowns. Primates, however, typically walk with diagonal …

Fiber type distribution in the shoulder muscles of the tree shrew, the cotton-top tamarin, and the squirrel monkey related to shoulder movements and forelimb loading

M Schmidt, N Schilling - Journal of human evolution, 2007 - Elsevier
Muscle fiber type composition of intrinsic shoulder muscles was examined in tree shrews,

BA Patel, KJ Carlson - Journal of Human Evolution, 2007 - Elsevier
Primates adopt diverse hand postures during terrestrial and above-branch quadrupedal
locomotion—knuckle-walking, digitigrady, and palmigrady—that incorporate varying …
