Gait transition mechanism from quadrupedal to bipedal locomotion in the Japanese macaque based on inverted pendulum

This study investigates the gait transition mechanism from quadrupedal to bipedal locomotion in Japanese macaques, finding that inverted pendulum dynamics are critical for successful transitions.

Mechanisms of adaptive interlimb coordination to sudden ground loss: a neuromusculoskeletal modeling study

This study uses a neuromusculoskeletal model to show how afferent feedback enables adaptive interlimb coordination in cats after sudden ground loss, without re-optimizing parameters.

Bayesian estimation of trunk-leg coordination during walking using phase oscillator models

This study uses Bayesian estimation with phase oscillator models to analyze leg-trunk coordination during walking, finding that neither leg-trunk nor interleg coordination is strictly controlled.

Dynamical determinants of different spine movements and gait speeds in rotary and transverse gallops

This study develops a model to analyze spine movements and gait speeds in rotary and transverse gallops, finding that flight type is determined by ground reaction force effects on spine movement direction and that rotary gallops achieve higher speeds due to longer flight duration.
