Accuracy and Precision of a Novel Photogate System to Measure Toe Clearance on Stairs
Sensors, 2023 Background: Toe clearance on stairs is typically measured using optoelectronic systems, though these are often constrained to the laboratory, due to their complex setups.

Biomechanics of climbing palms and how they climb [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009 Climbing plants have fascinated botanists since the pioneering works of Darwin and his contemporaries in the 19(th) century. Diverse plants have evolved different ways of climbing and a wide range of attachment devices and stem biomechanics to cope with the particular physical demands of life as a climber. We investigated the biomechanics of attachment

Mechanical loading of primate fingers on vertical rock surfaces
South African Journal of Science, 2021 Mechanical loading of finger bones (phalanges) can induce angular curvature, which benefits arboreal primates by dissipating forces and economising the recruitment of muscles during climbing.
