During virtual stepping, the robots were attached to themetatarsus, which yielded more consistent stepping than attaching to the toes or lower shank.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The tendency toward in-phase hopping on the virtual treadmill may be related in part to inertial loading of themetatarsusduring swing by the robot.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The virtual treadmill configuration was similar, but with the conveyor removed and the robots attached to the rat'smetatarsus.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In the virtual treadmill configuration, the robots were attached at themetatarsus, and the rats stepped on a haptically simulated treadmill.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Attachment to themetatarsusand lower shank was achieved using the same small cuffs as for the physical treadmill.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It was found that stepping was difficult to elicit with the toe or lower shank attachment locations, but that the rats could step with the robots attached at themetatarsus.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, the hindlimb joint trajectories of the rat are such that themetatarsusmoves through a greater distance horizontally and vertically than the lower shank during stepping.

This allows support to be placed where necessary, especially in the forefoot (metatarsusand toes) and heel.

A warty tubercle is found just before the junction of the thigh and shank (sub-articular tubercle) and two moderate ones are on the shank (metatarsus).
