In this post, we will try to take those basics and go more in-depth, looking at the gait from a slightly more functional and anatomical angle. We will cover the main muscle groups, timings, and bone structures responsible for moving us forward and answer the question: What makes a walking gait successful?
Read MoreEfficiency is key in a healthy walk cycle, with propulsion and energy conservation being the primary objectives.
In this article, We are going to break it down into its most basic components. First, we will break it down temporarily into small chunks and actions. Second, we will break it down physically to understand all the components and movement patterns that go into a step.
Read MoreToday’s article will focus on understanding the anatomy of the wing that propels flight and the basics of aerodynamics that make flying a reality. We cover the different flight patterns and break down the three stages of flight: lift-off, flying, and landing. At the end, I've covered some curiosities about wing shapes and how they influence flight patterns.
Read MoreYou’ll find an analysis of footfalls of the most common quadrupeds’ gaits, including which animals each gait suits best. Here, I analyze all six gaits in the order of the speed they provide the animal: walk, amble, trot, pace, canter, and gallop.
Read MoreDifferent species evolved different types of eyes, depending on the needs of their environment. Did you ever stop to notice that some animals have eyes on the side of their head? Why are ours so frontal? And why the eyes of a fly look so different?
