- Functional Analysis of Anuran Pelvic and Thigh Anatomy Using Musculoskeletal Modelling of Phlyctimantis maculatus .
Collings AJ, Eberhard EA, Basu C et al. · Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology · 2022-04 · open access
Using their abundant musculature, frogs are able to exhibit outstanding behavioural versatility. However, understanding the dynamic motion of their 30 + hindlimb muscles, with multi-joint action, and curved pathways, is challenging. This is particularly true in walking, a relatively understudied,…
- The impact of pelvic lateral rotation on hindlimb kinematics and stride length in the red-legged running frog, Kassina maculata .
Collings AJ, Porro LB, Hill C et al. · Royal Society open science · 2019-05 · open access
Some frog species, such as Kassina maculata (red-legged running frog), use an asynchronous walking/running gait as their primary locomotor mode. Prior comparative anatomy work has suggested that lateral rotation of the pelvis improves walking performance by increasing hindlimb stride length;…
- The dynamic role of the ilio-sacral joint in jumping frogs.
Richards CT, Eberhard EA, Collings AJ · Biology letters · 2018-09 · open access
A striking feature among jumping frogs is a sharp pelvic bend about the ilio-sacral (IS) joint, unique to anurans. Although this sagittal plane hinge has been interpreted as crucial for the evolution of jumping, its mechanical contribution has not been quantified. Using a model based on Kassina…

- 3D KINEMATICS AND PELVIC MOTION DURING WALKING LOCOMOTION IN THE RED-LEGGED RUNNING FROG (KASSINA MACULATA)
Amber J. Collings, Laura B. Porro, Christopher T. Richards · RVC Research Online (Royal Veterinary College) · 2016-01 · open access
This study focused on a group of 49 high-yielding dairy cows (primarily Holstein Friesians) and how their interactions with wall-mounted automated brushes correlated to their mobility (also described as lameness) score (AHDB 0–3 system. Of the 49 animals in the study, 48 were mobility scored with a…
