Knuckle-walking and behavioural flexibility in great apes by Emily LR Tarrega-Saunders, Charlotte King, Alice M Roberts, Susannah KS Thorpe

“…This has been used to refute the idea that hominin bipedalism evolved from knuckle-walking. Extended wrist postures during knuckle-walking in chimpanzees compared with columnar wrist postures in gorillas were associated with chimpanzees’ more arboreal lifestyle, and are supposedly constrained by fundamental differences in carpal morphology. …”

Analysis of Postural Control in Patients Diagnosed with Unilateral Knee Osteoarthrosis and Its Relationship with the Risk of Falls by Robson Emiliano José de Freitas, Jaqueline Gleice Aparecida de Freitas, Carolina Pereira Vieira, Daniela Cristina Endres, Fábio Martins Inacio, Fernanda Grazielle da Silva Azevedo Nora

“…Knee osteoarthrosis, whether subtle or marked, appears to alter the stability and performance of the knee joint in activities of daily living that prevent the maintenance of bipedal posture. However, there is still a gap in the literature as to how knee osteoarthritis can affect static balance. …”

Muscle activity and lower body kinematics change when performing motor imagery of gait by Hana Haltmar, Miroslav Janura, Barbora Kolářová

“…Electromyography (biceps femoris, gastrocnemius medialis, rectus femoris and tibialis anterior muscles) as well as acceleration and angular velocity (shank, thigh and pelvis segments) data were collected in three tasks for both MI modalities of gait (rest, gait imagery before and after the real execution of gait) in quiet bipedal stance in 26 healthy young adults. No significant change was observed in electromyography activity and lower body kinematics when comparing MI tasks of normal gait. …”
