1. 1. 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

3. 2. Adaptations and evolution in terrestrial carnivores

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Anders Hansson; [1996]
   Keywords : Carnivora; Creodonta; locomotor adaptations; skeleton; dentition; jaws; carnassials; saber-tooths; evolution; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : A review of adaptations in fossil and extant mammalian carnivores has been made. Adaptations to different locomotor behaviours can be seen in the postcranial skeleton. Typically cursorial adaptations are long distal limb segments and restrictions in the mobility of the limbs to move in other directions than forward and backward. READ MORE
