With National Science Foundation support, the Primate Locomotion Laboratory at SUNY Stony Brook will acquire instrumentation to supplement and increase their capacity to study primate locomotion. Purchase of a 3D motion analysis system will permit automatic and manual tracking of limb segment coordinates and will allow accurate quantification of 3D displacements, velocities and accelerations of limb segments. These data will then be coordinated with EMG data on muscle recruitment patterns, kinetic data on substrate forces and pressures, and strain data on long bone loading. A pressure plate, also purchased through this grant will permit determination of pressure distribution at hand and foot contacts. The laboratory is one of a few in the US engaged in experimental analysis of functional morphology in primates and has examined the function of muscle and bone conformation across a wide range of anatomical parts of the body and primate species. The group plans to pursue a number of studies including: 1. the kinematics of primate quadrupeds involved in bone strain studies to determine if inter-individual and interlimb variations in strain correlate with limb posture differences: 2. the kinematics of climbing in monkeys and apes to help determine whether climbing adaptations are responsible for any of the unique features which distinguish are and fossil hominid postcranial morphology; 3. the kinematics and kinetics of gibbon and spider monkey brachiation; 4. the kinematics and kinetics of knuckle-walking to understand the distribution of this unique locomotor adaptation in the hominoid tree; The research will serve several functions. It will provide basic insight into the relationship between analytical form and function. It will also provide a powerful data base and point of departure for the analysis of fossil monkey ape and hominid remains. Many researchers from several departments within the university as well as graduate students will benefit from this instrumentation

在国家科学基金会的支持下，纽约州立大学斯托尼布鲁克的灵长类动物运动实验室将获得仪器，以补充和提高他们研究灵长类动物运动的能力。购买3D运动分析系统将允许自动和手动跟踪肢体段坐标，并将允许准确量化肢体段的3D位移、速度和加速度。然后将这些数据与肌肉募集模式的EMG数据、基底力和压力的动力学数据以及长骨负荷的应变数据进行协调。压力板，也通过这项赠款购买将允许确定压力分布在手和脚接触。 该实验室是美国少数几个从事灵长类动物功能形态学实验分析的实验室之一，并研究了身体和灵长类动物物种广泛解剖部位的肌肉和骨骼构象功能。 该小组计划进行一些研究，包括：1。灵长类四足动物的运动学涉及骨应变研究，以确定个体间和肢体间的应变变化是否与肢体姿势差异相关：2.在猴子和猿类中攀爬的运动学，以帮助确定攀爬适应是否负责区分是和化石人科动物颅后形态的任何独特特征; 3.腕足和蜘蛛猴臂运动的运动学和动力学; 4.指关节行走的运动学和动力学，以了解这种独特的运动适应在类人猿树上的分布;这项研究将起到几个作用。它将为分析形式和功能之间的关系提供基本的见解。它还将为分析猴、猿和人科动物化石提供一个强大的数据库和出发点。来自大学内几个系的许多研究人员以及研究生将从这种仪器中受益
