William I. Sellers

INTRODUCTION
GaitSym is a forward dynamic modelling program. What that means is that you specify the forces and the program uses Newton's Laws to calculate the movements. It uses theĀ Open Dynamics EngineĀ physics library to do most of the hard work and provides a file format and display system so the user does not have to do any programming.

This study investigates the biomechanics of leaping in a group of six prosimian primates: Microcebus murinus, Lemur catta, Cheirogaleus major, Mirza coquereli, Galago garnettii and Galago moholi. They cover a 40 fold mass range and include animals from the three commonly recognized distinct prosimian leaping categories.
