The common marmoset has recently gained interest as an animal model for systems and
behavioral neuroscience. This is due in part to the advent of transgenic marmosets, which …

Background Birds have highly mobile necks, but neither the details of how they realize
complex poses nor the evolution of this complex musculoskeletal system is well-understood …

Birds change the shape and area of their wings to an exceptional degree, surpassing
insects, bats and aircraft in their ability to morph their wings for a variety of tasks. This …

Measuring range of motion (ROM) is a valuable technique that can link bone morphology to
joint function in both extant and extinct taxa. ROM results are commonly presented as tables …

Purpose: Quantification of knee motion is essential for assessment of pathologic joint
function, such as tracking osteoarthritis progression and evaluating outcomes after …

Standards-based data management facilitates data preservation, discoverability, and access
for effective data reuse within research groups and across communities of researchers. Data …

The purpose of this study was to quantify the accuracy and precision of a biplane
fluoroscopy system for model-based tracking of in vivo hindfoot motion during over-ground …

Human patellae (kneecaps) are thought to act as gears, altering the mechanical advantage
of knee extensor muscles during running. Similar sesamoids have evolved in the knee …

OBJECTIVE To perform 3-D inverse dynamics analysis of the entire forelimb of healthy dogs
during a walk and trot. ANIMALS 5 healthy adult Beagles. PROCEDURES The left forelimb …
