本研究调查长臂猿和倭黑猩猩的足和踝肌，并与人类的足进行比较。长臂猿和倭黑猩猩都是高度树栖的物种，但它们有不同的运动行为。巨猿的运动几乎完全是在树上进行的，其特点是速度和机动性，而倭黑猩猩的运动则需要一些陆地上的指关节行走，机动性和稳定性都很重要。我们研究这些运动的差异是否反映在他们的足部肌肉。因此，我们对两具倭黑猩猩和三具长臂猿尸体的下后肢进行了详细的解剖。我们对分离的肌肉进行了几次测量（质量，长度，生理横截面积等）。并计算主要肌群的相对肌肉质量和腹长，进行种间比较。所有的脚和踝关节肌肉的广泛描述和长臂猿，倭黑猩猩和人类之间的差异进行了讨论。没有发现大的差异之间的脚和踝关节的肌肉组织的猿，但是，显着差异之间的猿和人的脚。人类的脚专门用于一种运动，而猿的脚非常适合各种各样的运动模式。除了提供有趣的解剖学数据外，这项研究还有助于解释（前）人类化石。
This study investigates the foot and ankle myology of gibbons and bonobos, and compares it with the human foot. Gibbons and bonobos are both highly arboreal species, yet they have a different locomotor behaviour. Gibbon locomotion is almost exclusively arboreal and is characterized by speed and mobility, whereas bonobo locomotion entails some terrestrial knuckle‐walking and both mobility and stability are important. We examine if these differences in locomotion are reflected in their foot myology. Therefore, we have executed detailed dissections of the lower hind limb of two bonobo and three gibbon cadavers. We took several measurements on the isolated muscles (mass, length, physiological cross sectional area, etc.) and calculated the relative muscle masses and belly lengths of the major muscle groups to make interspecific comparisons. An extensive description of all foot and ankle muscles is given and differences between gibbons, bonobos and humans are discussed. No major differences were found between the foot and ankle musculature of both apes; however, marked differences were found between the ape and human foot. The human foot is specialized for solely one type of locomotion, whereas ape feet are extremely adaptable to a wide variety of locomotor modes. Apart from providing interesting anatomical data, this study can also be helpful for the interpretation of fossil (pre)hominids.
