Title: | Non-sagittal movements of shank and foot in some marsupials | Authors: | VAN ZWIETEN, Koos Jaap NARAIN, Faridi Kosten, L. De Munter, S. Zoubova, I. SCHMIDT, Klaus Lamur, K. |

(Ed.). 19th Benelux Congess of Zoology : Integrative biology: From ecology to molecules., p. 91-91 | Abstract: | Tracings of an in vivo opossum X-ray, displaying shank and foot, confirm that collum fibulae and spatium interosseum cruris are reliable landmarks to describe the non-sagittal hind-limb movements. Only since recently, quantitative measurements in higher primates, e.g. man, allow extrapolating these data to bipedal gait. In man, after take-off, just a short distinct foot eversion helps to clear the foot from the surface, mainly during the onset of sway. | Notes: | Short Summary of 2 Junior MSc Theses in Clinical Molecular Life Sciences, Functional Morphology Research Group, BioMed Research Institute, University of Hasselt, Belgium, 2011 | Keywords: | Gait Analysis; Shank and Foot Osteology; Inversion/Eversion; Comparative Anatomy; Marsupials | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/14257 | Link to publication/dataset: | www.beneluxcongress.com | Rights: | Copyright University of Hasselt, Belgium; Copyright Royal Belgian Zoological Society and Royal Dutch Zoological Society; 2012 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
