Assessment of Bipedal and Quadrupedal Locomotion

Principles and methods of qualitative and quantitative assessment of bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion are reviewed and compared. Timing, angulation, and distance measurements of stride of these two groups are described and differences in terminology explained.
