When animals walk overground, mechanical stimuli activate various receptors located in
muscles, joints and skin. Afferents from these mechanoreceptors project to neuronal …

Human walking is usually conceived as the cyclic rotation of the limbs. The goal of lower-
limb movements, however, is the forward translation of the body system, which can be …

Locomotor adaptability ranges from the simple and fast-acting to the complex and long-
lasting and is a requirement for successful mobility in an unpredictable environment. Several …

Interlimb coordination is critically important during bipedal locomotion and often must be
adapted to account for varying environmental circumstances. Here we studied adaptation of …

Advances in our understanding of movement control allow us to define more precisely the
requirements for the rehabilitation of patients with movement disorders. Most purposeful …

Neural networks in the spinal cord, referred to as “central pattern generators”(CPGs), are
capable of producing rhythmic movements, such as swimming, walking, and hopping, even …

It is generally accepted that locomotion in mammals, including humans, is based on the
activity of neuronal circuits within the spinal cord (the central pattern generator, CPG) …

While it is known that certain pathologies may impact on left–right symmetry of gait, little is
known about the mechanisms that contribute to gait symmetry or how high in the hierarchy of …

Tackling the question of whether control of human gait is based on that of a quadrupedal
locomotion system is of basic and practical relevance. During evolution, the increased …
