FIGURE 8.
Second bursts of activity in muscles with a flexor action at the hip and knee joints during quadrupedal or hindlimb-only locomotion in intact and spinal cats. The figure shows averaged rectified muscle activity normalized to the cycle for selected muscles during Intact4, Intact2 and Spinal2 conditions at 0.6 m/s for Cats 5 and 10: in (A) IP and SRT and (B) ST and BFP muscles. Horizontal bars represent averaged stance durations normalized to the cycle. For each muscle, 10–15 cycles were averaged. IP, iliopsoas; SRT, anterior sartorius; ST, semitendinosus; BFP, biceps femoris posterior.
