Step length constraints influence compliance during human walking
Meeting Abstract 76-5 Saturday, Jan. 6 09:00 – 09:15 Step length constraints influence compliance during human walking LEE, D/V*; ISAACS, M/R; COMANESCU, T/N; University of Nevada Las Vegas; University of Nevada Las Vegas; University of Nevada Las Vegas david.lee@unlv.edu Legs are traditionally considered to be compliant during running and rigid during walking. This derives from the paradigm […]
Rapid Gait Termination in Humanoids on Surfaces of Varying Friction
Meeting Abstract 76-6 Saturday, Jan. 6 09:15 – 09:30 Rapid Gait Termination in Humanoids on Surfaces of Varying Friction SHIELD, S*; PATEL, A; University of Cape Town; University of Cape Town SHLSTA001@myuct.ac.za In nature, maneuverability is essential to survival, however, the mechanics of high speed motions such as accelerating, turning and braking are still poorly understood, and […]
Locomotion in Nile crocodiles Kinematic effects of speed and posture
Meeting Abstract 76-8 Saturday, Jan. 6 09:45 – 10:00 Locomotion in Nile crocodiles: Kinematic effects of speed and posture MICHEL, KB*; CUFF, AR; ALLEN, VA; HUTCHINSON, JR; Royal Veterinary College kmichel@rvc.ac.uk The study of locomotion in extant crocodylians is important because they are unusual reptiles with a mix of ancestral and derived traits, and because these traits […]
