Many features of running gaits are reproduced by a simple spring mass model which is allowed to sweep through the stance phase like a limb. The relationship between such simulations and true running animals and the difference in the constraints on bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion are the subject of study in this project. We use a combination of data measured during field locomotion and traditional mechanical assessment. Modelling is undertaken using Simmechanics (Matlab) and SIMM (Musculographics).
