The effects of rehabilitation interventions on hind limb kinematics in a rat model of osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disorder and the knee is the most common large joint affected by it, causing many clinical symptoms in elderly populations. Knee OA has effects on gait patterns, such as a varus rotation at the knee, and these effects can change depending on the severity of the …

Gait analysis of the hind limb in Labrador Retrievers with and without cranial cruciate ligament disease
… inverse dynamics analysis approach models the limb as a series of connected linkages and integrates morphometric data to yield information about the net joint moment, patterns of muscle power and joint reaction forces. The results of these studies have greatly advanced our understanding of the …

Effect of hot-iron branding on the cheek or upper hind limb on cortisol levels, behaviour and production in feedlot calves
Hot-iron branding on the upper hind limb in beef feedlot calves is a usual part of the processing procedure at arrival in many feedlots in South Africa. However, cheek branding is becoming more popular in feedlots due to ease of restraint and better visibility of the brand mark. However, the …

Detection of muscle damage by B-mode ultrasonography : relationship between echo intensity and histological changes following injection of bupivacaine to rat hind limb muscles
… in infiltration of mononuclear cells, into rat hind limb muscles. This study was approved by the Institutional Animal Research Ethics Committee. BPVC (0.5 % of 0.5 ml) or saline (0.9 % NaCl of 0.5 ml) was injected to the tibialis anterior muscle (TA) of 14-19 wk male Wistar rats (n=12). …

The developmental basis of evolutionary changes in limb proportions
Mammalian limbs are complex morphological structures that exhibit an astonishing amount of diversity. This diversity is driven by changes in the relative proportions of the three limb segments that are conserved among mammals. Despite the importance of limb proportions to mammalian evolution, the …

Linearity, motor primitives and low-dimensionality in the spinal organization of motor control
… spinally induced force production in the frog limb is linear in stimulation. Spinally encoded force fields have also been implicated as building blocks for generating hind limb movements. Furthermore, muscle EMG measurements for both intact and spinalized animals, have been shown to be …

LIFE HISTORY SWITCH POINT PLASTICY IN RESPONSE TO POND DRYING ALYERS METAMORPH ALLOMETRY AND JUMPING PERFORMANCE
… and measured time and size at metamorphosis, hind limb length and jumping performance. We also conducted a complimentary laboratory study that manipulated resources and water depth. In the field experiment, metamorphs from dry-down treatments emerged earlier, but at a similar size to constant …

Cyanate Formation Following 2-Chloroacrylonitrile Exposure and the Role of Cytochrome P-450
… In a separate experiment, the time to onset of hind limb paralysis was measured in animals receiving 40 mg/kg 2-CAN and 100 mg/kg 5P1P one hour prior to 40 mg/kg 2-CAN. </p><p> Blood cyanide levels were increased in the 2-CAN group, but did not exceed 0.06 µg/mL, a concentration well below the …

Maternal Effects on Embryonic and Placental Growth and the Penetrance of the Luxate Gene in Mice.
Preaxial polydactyly is one of the most frequent limb anomalies in man, and sporadically occurs in poultry, pigeons, and in the hindlimbs of cats, dogs, mice and guinea pigs (Carter, 1954). Polydactyly is detectable by the stage of footplate morphogenesis, but it is inducible before hind-limb bud …

Proteomic Profiling of the mdx Animal Model for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
… dystrophic diaphragm; moderately affected hind limb to naturally protected interosseus muscle were used to investigate the pathogenesis of the disease. Proteomic analysis of the muscle subtypes indicated that skeletal muscles are differentially affected by the absence of dystrophin protein. …

Identification and characterisation of a novel, multi-potent, skeletal muscle-derived stem cell with broad developmental plasticity
… cells and PICs were identified and quantified in hind limb skeletal muscle of 3, 10 and 21 day, and 2 year old mice: there was a decline in abundance of both SC and PICs with age. PICs were isolated by MACS technology from hind limb murine skeletal muscle of 21 day old mice, and their phenotype …

Development of a mouse model for the study of osteoarthritis pain
… allodynia was present in the ipsilateral hind limb from 9 weeks following surgery. Hind limb mechanical hyperalgesia and cold allodynia, and increased vocalisation in response to knee compression developed in the ipsilateral limb in two phases. An early phase of hypersensitivities lasted …

A New Species of Teleoceras from the Late Miocene Gray Fossil Site, with Comparisons to Other North American Hemphillian Species
… are more pronounced in the elements of the forelimb than in those of the hind limb. Statistical analyses of post-cranial elements from 3 Hemphillian species of <em>Teleoceras </em>suggest that these differences should not be used to separate species. However, the elements do typically sort well …

Characterisation of a novel Rab18 mouse model for Warburg Micro syndrome
… weeks of age Rab18-/- mice developed progressive hind limb weakness indicative of neurological dysfunction. I have undertaken detailed neuropathological analysis of the observed hind limb weakness and identified no abnormalities in synaptic vesicle recycling and no atrophy of peripheral muscles or …

Mammalian limb morphology: the role of the crawl in determining marsupial limb integration, development, and evolution
… birth has constrained the evolution of the forelimb and the group as a whole. However, the hind limb, which does not participate in the crawl, may have “escaped” the crawl’s constraint. This strong selective pressure to develop the forelimb early has also led to a decrease in integration (i.e. …

Comparison of the long bone microstructure of two southern African marine birds, the Cape gannet (Morus capensis) and the African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) with respect to their aquatic adaptations
… is an efficient flying bird, uses both fore- and hind limbs to propel itself under water. On the other hand, the flightless penguin swims underwater using only its forelimbs. In this study, the long bones of ten penguins and nine gannets were compared in terms of microanatomy and histology with …
