Characterization of the genomic landscape of canine oral osteosarcoma reveals similarities with appendicular osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common bone tumor in both dogs and humans. It predominantly occurs in the appendicular skeleton, with about 25% of cases occurring within the axial skeleton. Progression ...

Our study expands our global knowledge of allodaposuchid anatomy, focusing on the osteology and myology of the axial and appendicular skeletons, as well as the osteoderm pattern, all of which indicate a semi-aquatic lifestyle with possibly enhanced terrestrial locomotion.

Reconstructing the paired fin skeletons and musculature in arthrodires from the Devonian (Frasnian) Gogo Formation, Western Australia: implications of arthrodire appendicular anatomy for the serial homology of vertebrate limbs
The paired fins and limbs of vertebrates have traditionally been considered as serial homologs. However, this assumption has been challenged because of differences between the pectoral and pelvic f...

On land an animal such as Elomeryx, was subcursorial. Though not a very fast runner, nor over long distances, tge appendicular elements indicate Elomeryx was well capable, of short bursts of speed. Such can be to evade a predator, but startled ungulates with such propirtions, are often aggressive.

So our current (speculative) take: Axial forms of dystonia seem to originate from dysfunctions within a cerebellothalamic network that projects to the CON / AMN.
Appendicular forms instead from dysfunctions within a S/M1-basal ganglia-thalamocortical network.
