Abstract
The convention for, and applicability of, a new computer-aided cyclographic technique for kinematic analysis of locomotion in quadrupeds is given. Comparison is made of the walking, trotting and galloping patterns of a reference quadruped, Canis familiaris. The method is effective where an investigator requires an accurate evaluation of limb movement in the cranio-caudal plane.
