Published: 10 November 2023
...Jessica L. Tingle; Brian M. Sherman; Theodore Garland, Jr ABSTRACT For terrestrial locomotion of animals and machines, physical characteristics of the substrate can strongly impact kinematics and performance. Snakes are an especially interesting system for studying substrate effects because...

... range of the hydraulic joint. Based on the analysis of locomotor mechanics, a bouncing gait was mainly used by H. hainanum during terrestrial locomotion and their locomotor mechanism did not change with increasing speed. Because of the spiders’ hydraulic system, the mass-specific power per unit weight...

... also first identified by Brenner, and displayed the same locomotion and egg-laying defects as unc-7 mutants, which led to the proposal that these two genes probably function together in establishing electrical connectivity in the nervous system ( Barnes and Hekimi, 1997 ). eat-5 mutants were...

... Locomotion Rare disorders affect 4–8% of the global population ( Boycott et al., 2013 ) and approximately 80% of these disorders are predicted to have a genetic etiology ( Bick et al., 2019 ). In recent years, whole-exome sequencing (WES) emerged as a diagnostic tool for patients with rare disorders...

.... Here, we report a simple setup that consists of a custom-made light box equipped with white and 940 nm light-emitting diode (LED) light strips as light sources, where the locomotion activities of zebrafish or catfish are captured using an infrared-sensitive coupled charged device (CCD). The whole setup...

... that was discussed before. Independent of how arm swing is executed, it appears to play an important part during human locomotion. However, what this role is exactly is still unknown. Several hypotheses have been formulated, among which: (a) reducing vertical displacement of the centre of mass (COM) ( Hinrichs...

...Soran Aminiaghdam; Christian Rode ABSTRACT Studies of disturbed human locomotion often focus on the dynamics of the gait when either posture, movement or surface is perturbed. Yet, the interaction effects of variation of trunk posture and ground level on kinetic behaviour of able-bodied gait have...
