Center of mass

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Cutaneous sensory feedback from paw pads affects lateral balance control during split-belt locomotion in the cat
    Hangue Park, Elizaveta M. Latash, Yaroslav I. Molkov, Alexander N. Klishko, Alain Frigon, Stephen P. DeWeerth, Boris I. Prilutsky
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb198648 doi: 10.1242/jeb.198648 Published 26 July 2019

    Summary: Cats compensate for unilaterally compromised tactile paw sensations by improving lateral balance and by shifting the body toward the anesthetized paws during the stance phase of split-belt locomotion.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Forelimb position affects facultative bipedal locomotion in lizards
    Chase T. Kinsey, Lance D. McBrayer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb185975 doi: 10.1242/jeb.185975 Published 12 December 2018

    Highlighted Article: Bipedal locomotion enhances obstacle negotiation during sprint locomotion via maintaining forward speed and obstacle clearance. Forelimb position helps shift the center of mass to transition to a bipedal posture.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Waddle and shuffle: gait alterations associated with domestication in turkeys
    Kristin K. Stover, Elizabeth L. Brainerd, Thomas J. Roberts
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb180687 doi: 10.1242/jeb.180687 Published 13 August 2018

    Summary: Selection has resulted in domestic turkeys that are three times more massive than wild birds, leading to decreased locomotor speeds, an altered center of mass position and a shuffling gait.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Mechanisms for the functional differentiation of the propulsive and braking roles of the forelimbs and hindlimbs during quadrupedal walking in primates and felines
    Michael C. Granatosky, Aidan Fitzsimons, Angel Zeininger, Daniel Schmitt
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb162917 doi: 10.1242/jeb.162917 Published 22 January 2018

    Summary: Theoretical models and empirical results reveal that functional differentiation of the limbs of quadrupeds in terms of net braking and propulsive roles is driven, in part, by the relative position of the limb point of contact relative to the center of mass.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effects of acceleration on gait measures in three horse gaits
    Sandra Nauwelaerts, Lila Zarski, Peter Aerts, Hilary Clayton
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1453-1460; doi: 10.1242/jeb.113225

    Summary: Acceleration affects gait measures during walk, trot and canter in horses – force angle, collision angle and fraction are promising tools for future research.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Tail autotomy and subsequent regeneration alter the mechanics of locomotion in lizards
    Kevin Jagnandan, Anthony P. Russell, Timothy E. Higham
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 3891-3897; doi: 10.1242/jeb.110916
