Principles of construction in the forepaw and hindpaw of the domestic cat (Felis catus). 4. Innervation of muscles and analysis of locomotion.The innervation relations of the fore- and hindlimb of the cat were newly investigated to complete the interpretation of the muscle innervation (Figs 1-4). By means of special motion studies the contribution of paw muscles was determined during balance, locomotion as well as under specific manipulation of the prevailing single phases of the motion cycle. The functional considerations are graphically prepared in Figs 5-11.
