Regional variation in digital cushion pressure in the forefeet of horses and elephants (2014)
Journal Article
Warner, S. E., Henry, V., Roskilly, K., Hildebrandt, T., Panagiotopoulou, O., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2014). Regional variation in digital cushion pressure in the forefeet of horses and elephants. PeerJ PrePrints, https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.231v1

In this study, we seek to understand how the digital cushion morphologies evident in horse and elephant feet influence internal and external foot pressures. Our novel use of invasive blood pressure monitoring equipment, combined with a pressure pad a...

Open data and digital morphology
Journal Article
Davies, T. G., Rahman, I. A., Lautenschlager, S., Cunningham, J. A., Asher, R. J., Barrett, P. M., …Donoghue, P. C. J. (in press). Open data and digital morphology. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2017.0194

Over the past two decades, the development of methods for visualizing and analysing specimens digitally, in three and even four dimensions, has transformed the study of living and fossil organisms. However, the initial promise that the widespread app... Read More about Open data and digital morphology.

The locomotor kinematics of Asian and African elephants: changes with speed and size
Journal Article
Hutchinson, J. R., Schwerda, D., Famini, D., Dale, R. H. I., Fischer, M. S., & Kram, R. (in press). The locomotor kinematics of Asian and African elephants: changes with speed and size. Journal of Experimental Biology, 209(19), 3812-3827. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.02443

For centuries, elephant locomotion has been a contentious and confusing challenge for locomotion scientists to understand, not only because of technical difficulties but also because elephant locomotion is in some ways atypical of more familiar quadr...

Analysis of hindlimb muscle moment arms in Tyrannosaurus rex using a three-dimensional musculoskeletal computer model: implications for stance, gait, and speed. Paleobiology, 31(4), 676-701. https://doi.org/10.1666/0094-8373%282005%29031%5B0676%3AAOHMMA%5D2.0.CO%3B2

Some basic relationships between density values in cancellous and cortical bone
Journal Article
Zioupos, P., Cook, R. B., & Hutchinson, J. R. Some basic relationships between density values in cancellous and cortical bone. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(9), 1961-1968. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.03.025

Density is a salient property of bone and plays a crucial role in determining the mechanical properties of both its cancellous and cortical structural forms. Density is defined in a number of ways at either the bone tissue (D-app, apparent) or the bo... Read More about Some basic relationships between density values in cancellous and cortical bone.

Segmental Kinematic Coupling of the Human Spinal Column during Locomotion
Journal Article
Zhao, G. R., Ren, L., Ren, L. Q., Hutchinson, J. R., Tian, L. M., & Dai, J. S. Segmental Kinematic Coupling of the Human Spinal Column during Locomotion. Journal of Bionic Engineering, 5(4), 328-334. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1672-6529%2808%2960177-8

As one of the most important daily motor activities, human locomotion has been investigated intensively in recent decades. The locomotor functions and mechanics of human lower limbs have become relatively well understood. However, so far our understa...
