Fig. 10. Ensemble averages of electromyographic (EMG) activity of the deep
pectoralis muscle. This muscle has a clear locomotor function that is
consistent between dogs, but no ventilatory function. Samples are from two
dogs (A and B), and the average across two dogs (C), with ventilatory (bold
lines) and acceleration (thin lines) traces to reveal relationships to breath
and stride (D). IF indicates ipsilateral forelimb support and CF contralateral
forelimb support in the footfall bars at the bottom. All traces are on the
same time scale. Exp., expiration; Insp., inspiration.
