Low-rail locomotion 1.1 - Quadrupedal 'Cat-walk'
Low rail-work
•
2m 25s
THE WHAT:
The 'Cat-walk' is a foundational quadrupedal rail-walk pattern characterised by it's "box" form zero-point - like the floor-based 'bear crawl', when holding isometrically and in locomotion the limbs move about a 90-degree angle to the horizontal torso, the knees never entering deep-flexion (although this changes once again when progressing to developmental forms). In this way, on the physical layer it elicits a greater challenge to both core and knee stability - the former in its anti-rotational effort to manage the relationship between pelvis & torso, and the later in its posterior paterllar-loading.

THE WHAT:
Developmental projects for 'rail-walking' proceed to exploring gait 'levels in space', beginning with a BIPEDAL sagittal squat-walk reminiscent of the 'Duck walk' and capacities developed in other 'low/squat-gait' contexts. From a physics perspective, this form is actually easier to bal... -
Rail-quadrupedal 'leg-thread'
THE WHAT:
An intermediate-to-advanced semi-quadrupedal 'low-rail' locomotion pattern. It's availability is an expression of both capacity (compression potential to achieve the 'leg-thread'), structural-awareness (finding the optimal placement of hands/feet and negotiation the thread of the leg ar...
