A method was presented for quantifying cat (Felis catus) hind limb dynamics during swing phase of locomotion using a 2-link rigid body model of leg and paw, which highlighted the dynamic interactions between segments. Comprehensive determination was made of cat segment parameters necessary for dynamic analysis and regression equations were formulated to predict the inertial parameters of any comparable cat. Modulations in muscle and nonmuscle components of knee and ankle joint moments were examined at 2 treadmill speeds using 3 gaits: pace-like walk and trot-like walk, at 1.0 ms-1 and gallop, at 2.1 ms-1. Muscle and segment interactive moments significantly effected limb trajectories during swing. Some moment components were greater in galloping than in walking, but net joint maxima were not significantly between speeds. Moment magnitudes typically were greater for pace-like walking than for trot-like walking at the same speed. Generally, across gaits, the net and muscle moments were in phase with the direction of distal joint motion and these same moments were out in phase with proxmal joint motion. Intersegmental dynamics were not modulated exclusively by speed of locomotion, but interactive movement were also influenced significantly by gait mode.
