Here, we review the modern interface of three-dimensional (3D) empirical (eg motion
capture) and theoretical (eg modelling and simulation) approaches to the study of terrestrial …

Marker-based XROMM requires software tools for:(1) correcting fluoroscope distortion;(2)
calibrating X-ray cameras;(3) tracking radio-opaque markers; and (4) calculating rigid body …

Therapsids covered the entire spectrum of terrestrial locomotion from sprawling to
parasagittal. Switching between sprawling and more erect locomotion may have been …

Joint mobility is a key factor in determining the functional capacity of tetrapod limbs, and is
important in palaeobiological reconstructions of extinct animals. Recent advances have …

Forming a complete picture of the relationship between neural activity and skeletal
kinematics requires quantification of skeletal joint biomechanics during free behavior; …

The first high-precision 3D in vivo hindlimb kinematic data to be recorded in normal dogs of
four different breeds (Beagle, French bulldog, Malinois, Whippet) using biplanar, high …

Although evolutionary transformation of the pectoral girdle and forelimb appears to have had
a profound impact on mammalian locomotor and ecological diversity, both the sequence of …

Land mammals support and move their body using their musculoskeletal system. Their
musculature usually presents varying adaptations with body mass or mode of locomotion …

As animals increase in size, common patterns of morphological and physiological scaling
may require them to perform behaviors such as locomotion while experiencing a reduced …

Neural control of movement cannot be fully understood without careful consideration of
interactions between the neural and biomechanical components. Recent advancements in …
