Q

Lateral body undulation

A

Side to side - limbless animals - sprawling gait

17
Q

Coupled breathing

A

Syncing stride rhythm and breathing

18
Q

Pneumatic stabilisation

A

Using lungs as a airbag to stabilise during loco

19
Q

Visceral piston model

A

Movement of guts exerts force during loco that aids ventilation - inertia during deceleration

20
Q

Lever equation

A

F muscle X D1 = F out X D2

D1 - joint to muscle
D2 - joint to external load

21
Q

Effective mechanical advantage (EMA) =

A

r / R

r - muscle movement of arm
R - moment of GRF

22
Q

EMA equation 2

A

Fm X r = G X R

Fm - moment acting in joint
G - GFR

23
Q

Duty factor =

A

T stance / T stride

24
Q

Symmetrical gait

A

Left & right limbs alternate

25
Q

Asymmetric gait

A

Limbs move together

26
Q

Inertia

A

Resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion
