  • Title: Recommended terminology for researchers in locomotion and biomechanics of quadrupedal animals.
    Author: Leach D.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1993; 146(2-3):130-6. PubMed ID: 8470455.
    Abstract:
    This paper summarizes recommendations for terminology to be used in the description of quadrupedal locomotion and selected aspects of biomechanics. Directional terms and planes of the body (anatomical position, spatial reference systems), joint angulation, conformation, general locomotion terminology, phases of the stride and limb cycle (e.g. step, cadence) and terminology for the description of jumping are described.
