  1. 1. Movement patterns in horses with multiple limb lameness

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Jessica Bergdal; [2024]
    Keywords : multiple limb lameness; gait analysis; motion asymmetry; lameness assessment;

    Abstract : Disorders from the locomotion apparatus is the most common disease category in horses and a common cause for euthanasia. A frequent symptom of these disorders is lameness and to be able to treat such disorders the correct diagnosis needs to be made. READ MORE

  3. 2. Habitat use and activity patterns of three Eulemur species in the forest and restoration areas of Ranomafana and Ankafobe, Madagascar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Nicole Scholte Lubberink; [2023]
    Keywords : fragmentation; anthropogenic deforestation; camera traps; occupancy modelling; detection probability;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic deforestation is a major threat to forest environments, as it leads to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many species suffer from these consequences due to reduced resource availability or connectivity. Forests in Madagascar have drastically been reduced in the past few centuries. READ MORE

  4. 3. How About Running on Mars ? Influence of Sensory Coherence on the Running Pattern and on Spatial Perception in Simulated Reduced Gravity

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Marie Keime; [2022]
    Keywords : Adaptation; Gravity; Locomotion; Sensory factors; Spatial perception; Unweighting.; Rörelse; Gravitation; Anpassning; Avvägning; Sensoriska faktorer; Rumslig uppfattning.;

    Abstract : Motor control, including locomotion, strongly depends on the gravitational field. Recent developments like lower-body positive pressure treadmills (LBPPTs) have enabled Earth- based studies on the effects of reduced body weight (BW) on walking and running. Yet, the observed adaptations to simulated hypogravity are not optimal. READ MORE

  5. 4. Pilotstudie: Duration av belastningsoch svävningsfas i trav på volt jämfört med rakt spår med respektive utan ryttare samt med hästen i olika huvudpositioner

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Tove Månsson; [2020]
    Keywords : trav; hälta; hovförflyttning; ridning;

    Abstract : Lameness is a common health issue for sports horses. The horse is an athlete that often suffers from injuries in the locomotor apparatus. Such injuries are not only expensive but also have a negative effect on the welfare of the horses. The trot is a two-beat gait where the diagonal limbs move in unison. READ MORE

  6. 5. TWIST : Twelve Bar Intelligently Simulated Tensegrity

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Hannah Petersson; [2019]
    Keywords : tensegrity; robotics; simulations; monte carlo method; central pattern generators; lander; space;

    Abstract : One of the biggest challenges of putting a robot on an extraterrestrial surface is the entry, descent and landing. By making the robot impact resistant, the need for landing thrusters and parachutes is reduced, lowering the weight and cost of an interplanetary robotic mission. READ MORE
