Limb phase flexibility in walking: a test case in the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)

Abstract Background Previous analyses of factors influencing footfall timings and gait selection in quadrupeds have focused on the implications for energetic cost or gait mechanics separately. Here we present a model for symmetrical walking gaits in quadrupedal mammals that combines both factors, an...
