Certain methods of biomechanical description of various postural adjustment patterns during motoric learning in dogs.
Methods for the biomechanical description of spatial displacements of the center of mass of quadruped animal (dog), developed by the authors on the basis of an assessment of the vertical constituents of support pressures, as well as methods for the assessment of the postural adjustment pattern (coefficient of diagonality), are presented in this paper. The results are presented of an investigation of the role of the motor cortex in the accomplishment of the postural adjustment pattern of dogs, reorganized during learning, in the performance of an instrumental movement.
