Speed control in quadrupedal locomotion: principles of limb coordination in the dog.
Long distance, overground locomotion in the dog was observed and analyzed using the two dimensional gait diagram method. Though the velocity of locomotion chosen by the animals over a 1,000 m course varied, a preferred speed generally emerged and was used during most of the experiment. This animal-specific preferred overground velocity was strongly correlated with the animal's limb lengths, and...
متن کاملCervicolumbar coordination in mammalian quadrupedal locomotion: role of spinal thoracic circuitry and limb sensory inputs.
Effective quadrupedal locomotion requires a close coordination between the spatially distant central pattern generators (CPGs) controlling forelimb and hindlimb movements. Using isolated preparations of the neonatal rat spinal cord, we explore the role of intervening thoracic circuitry in cervicolumbar CPG coordination and the contribution to this remote coupling of limb somatosensory inputs. I...
متن کاملPropriospinal circuitry underlying interlimb coordination in mammalian quadrupedal locomotion.
Soon after birth, freely moving quadrupeds can express locomotor activity with coordinated forelimb and hindlimb movements. To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying this coordination, we used an isolated spinal cord preparation from neonatal rats. Under bath-applied 5-HT, N-methyl-d,l-aspartate (NMA), and dopamine (DA), the isolated cord generates fictive locomotion in which homolateral ...
متن کاملEffects of joint compliance in quadrupedal locomotion
Compliance is one of the most pronounced characteristics in animals. It is present in almost all parts of the musculoskeletal system of a body: muscles, tendons, tissue, skin and even bones all possess a certain level of compliance. The effects of compliance greatly vary on the momentary task or activity. It has the potential to add robustness to stiff/brittle structures, is able to store and r...
متن کاملBipedal and quadrupedal locomotion in chimpanzees.
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) habitually walk both bipedally and quadrupedally, and have been a common point of reference for understanding the evolution of bipedal locomotion in early ape-like hominins. Here we compare the kinematics, kinetics, and energetics of bipedal and quadrupedal walking and running in a sample of five captive chimpanzees. Kinematics were recorded using sagittal-plane di...
