Table 2.

The masses and inertial properties of the mouse torso and hindlimb segments used to simulate trotting in the hindlimb.

−4.1 9.43 × 10−6
−1.5 9.12 × 10−6
Pelvis 0.38 2.9 2.35 × 10−9
−1.2 6.43 × 10−9
2.4 6.70 × 10−9
Thigh 0.44 −2.8 6.83 × 10−9
−7.2 4.23 × 10−9
0.20 9.10 × 10−9
Lower Leg 0.21 −0.8 3.73 × 10−9
−7.2 6.80 × 10−10
0.0 4.10 × 10−9
Foot 0.063 4.5 6.10 × 10−11
−0.20 1.26 × 10−9
0.10 1.26 × 10−9

Center of mass values are shown with respect to the coordinate system origins (i.e., proximally) of each segment (see Charles et al., 2016b for more details). + x, cranial; + y, proximal (dorsal); + z, lateral. See Figure 4 for how the segments were partitioned.
