Abstract:
This report concerns the analysis of the dynamic measurements of torque and bending on nailed tibiae, using two sheep walking at different speeds on a treadmill, both before and after nailing. The amplitude and the period of the measured values are reported and discussed in relationship to the speed and duration of the experiment.
