This suggests that a causative relationship between walking speed and foot sinkage depth within individual sand substates is not coupled with systematic changes in joint kinematics and muscle activity in the same way as is observed across sand substrates. * Author...

Because Chrysopelea uses dynamic behaviors when bridging gaps without gliding, we hypothesized that such dynamic behaviors...
