Whole Body Mechanics of Stealthy Walking in Cats
The metabolic cost associated with locomotion represents a significant part of an animal's metabolic energy budget. Therefore understanding the ways in which animals manage the energy required for locomotion by controlling muscular effort is critical to understanding limb design and the evolution of locomotor behavior. The assumption that energetic economy is the most important target of natura...
متن کاملWhole-body angular momentum in incline and decline walking.
Angular momentum is highly regulated over the gait cycle and is important for maintaining dynamic stability and control of movement. However, little is known regarding how angular momentum is regulated on irregular surfaces, such as slopes, when the risk of falling is higher. This study examined the three-dimensional whole-body angular momentum patterns of 30 healthy subjects walking over a ran...
متن کاملProtective Immunity in Mice with Whole Body of Echinococcus granulosus
Despite the establishment of extensive and successful control programmes in some countries or regions, Echinococcus granulosus still has a very wide geographical distribution. Mature E. granulosus (n = 120) obtained from Parasitology Department, School of Veterinary Medicine, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (Iran). Soluble protein of whole body of parasite was prepared by freeze-thawing in liqui...
متن کاملStraight-Leg Walking Through Underconstrained Whole-Body Control
We present an approach for achieving a natural, efficient gait on bipedal robots using straightened legs and toe-off. Our algorithm avoids complex height planning by allowing a whole-body controller to determine the straightest possible leg configuration at run-time. The controller solutions are biased towards a straight leg configuration by projecting leg joint angle objectives into the null-s...
متن کاملWhole-body Local Dynamic Stability during Walking and Running
Highly-simplified models of walking and running can show passive dynamic (i.e. mechanical) stability[1-2]. Although these models capture many important aspects of locomotor dynamics, the extent to which they can describe the stability properties of human locomotion is still unclear. Human locomotion involves coordinating many degrees of freedom (DOFs), which are coupled (mechanically, kinematic...
