The Global Design of the Hindlimb in Quadrupeds

Cells Tissues Organs, 1993
In the hindlimb of quadrupeds three major segments can be distinguished which can rotate with respect to each other in the hip, knee and ankle joints. Movements in a sagittal plane appear to be controlled by three sets of antagonistic mono-articular muscle groups (one set per joint) and two sets of antagonistic bi-articular muscles.

Orthotopic Hindlimb Transplantation in the Mouse

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2003
There are many potential advantages to using a mouse as a model for composite tissue transplantation, particularly to examine the mechanisms behind various tolerance induction protocols. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of a new hindlimb transplant model in the mouse. Fifteen Swiss-Webster mice, 14 to 16 weeks old (35 to 50 g),

Adaptation of the hindlimbs for climbing in bears

Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2005
The hindlimbs of the Malayan sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), the brown bear (Ursus arctos) and the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) have been anatomically and osteometrically studied. The Musculus tibialis cranialis of the Malayan sun bear and the giant panda possessed a well-developed rich fleshy portion until the

Differential responses of mechanosensitive osteocyte proteins in fore- and hindlimbs of hindlimb-unloaded rats

Bone, 2017
Osteocytes are believed to be the primary mechanosensors of bone tissue, signaling to osteoblasts and osteoclasts by releasing specific proteins. Sclerostin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are osteocyte proteins that signal to osteoblasts. The primary objective of this study was to determine if osteocyte protein response

Effect of hindlimb unloading on two hindlimb muscles during treadmill locomotion in rats

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 1997
The purpose of the study was to examine the pattern of electromyographic (EMG) activity of the rat soleus (SOL) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles during treadmill locomotion at various speeds after 7 days of hindlimb unloading (HU). Raw EMG signals were processed to determine cycle duration, burst duration and mean EMG (burst surface divided by its ...
