An Overview of Locomotion and Propulsive Bio-mechanisms in Vertebrates

Abstract

His review article discusses and debates the various evolutionary bio-mechanisms and development processes involving bipedal stance and stride posture among animals and birds. The numerous hypotheses and theories that address the topic and dwelt on at length. Amphibia, reptilia, avia and mammalian have each developed their own unique and exclusive style and mode of propulsion. It is hoped articles such as this raise the level of our understanding of the complex dynamics and kinetics of bipedal motion.

Keywords: Amphibians, Reptilians, Mammalians, Avians, Bipedalis.
