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...

A comparative study of the physiological costs of walking in ten bilateral amputees
Journal Article
Wright, D. A., Marks, L., & Payne, R. C. A comparative study of the physiological costs of walking in ten bilateral amputees. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 32(1), 57-67. https://doi.org/10.1080/03093640701669108

The physiological cost of walking is greater in bilateral amputees (BA) than in both unilateral amputee and non-pathological gait. The aim of this study was to describe the physiological costs and other standard gait characteristics in a sample popul...

Myosin IIC: A third molecular motor driving neuronal dynamics
Journal Article
Wylie, S. R., & Chantler, P. D. Myosin IIC: A third molecular motor driving neuronal dynamics. Molecular Biology of the Cell, 19(9), 3956-3968. https://doi.org/10.1091/mbc.E07-08-0744

Neuronal dynamics result from the integration of forces developed by molecular motors, especially conventional myosins. Myosin IIC is a recently discovered nonsarcomeric conventional myosin motor, the function of which is poorly understood, particula...
