A versatile gluteus medius drove a seamless transition to bipedalism
The functional role of the gluteus medius differs between extant humans and other primates. In nonhuman primates, the muscle rotates the pelvis in the horizontal plane and assists forelimb reach. By contrast, in humans, it pulls the pelvis upward in the frontal plane and contributes to mediolateral stability during bipedal gait. In the earliest evolutionary stage of bipedalism, however, a functional flexibility would have been required to cope wi…
A three-dimensional kinematic analysis of bipedal walking in a white-handed gibbon (Hylobates lar) on a horizontal pole and flat surface
Gibbons, a type of lesser ape, are brachiators but also walk bipedally and without forelimb assistance, not only on the ground but also on tree branches. The arboreal bipedal walking strategy of the gibbons has been studied in previous studies in relation to two-dimensional (2D) kinematic analysis. However, because tree branches and the ground differ greatly in width, leading to a constrained foot contact point on the tree branches, gibbons must …
