Journal ArticleDOI

"Let's get physical": advantages of a physical model over 3D computer models and textbooks in learning imaging anatomy.

TL;DR: The results suggest that physical models may hold a significant advantage over alternative learning resources in enhancing visuospatial and 3D understanding of complex anatomical architecture, and that 3D computer models have significant limitations with regards to 3D learning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional anatomy and muscle moment arms of the thoracic limb of an elite sprinting athlete: the racing greyhound (Canis familiaris)

TL;DR: The greyhound thoracic limb appears to possess substantial differences from both that of more ‘sub‐maximal specialist’ quadrupeds, and from the greyhound pelvic limb, suggesting that it may be used to some extent in propulsion, or alternatively that stabilisation is very important in this animal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional specialisation of the pelvic limb of the hare (Lepus europeus).

TL;DR: The pelvic limb of the hare was found to contain substantial amounts of hip extensor and adductor/abductor muscle volume, which is likely to be required for power production and stability during rapid turning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pitch then power: limitations to acceleration in quadrupeds

TL;DR: This work examined two elite athletes bred and trained for acceleration performance when performing maximal acceleration (and deceleration for ponies) in a competitive setting and shows that maximum acceleration and de acceleration ability may be accounted for by two simple limits, one mechanical and one physiological.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the mechanical basis for acceleration: pelvic limb locomotor function during accelerations in racing greyhounds (Canis familiaris)

TL;DR: Hindlimb EMA decreased substantially with increased acceleration – a potential strategy to increase stance time and thus ground impulses for a given peak force, may also increase the mechanical advantage for applying the horizontal forces necessary for acceleration.
