In the absence of sensory input, the central nervous system can generate a rhythmical
pattern of coordinated activation of limb muscles. Contracting muscles have springlike …

Simulations performed with neuromechanical models are providing insight into the neural
control of locomotion that would be hard if not impossible to obtain in any other way. We first …

Our study aims at the design and implementation of a general controller for quadruped
locomotion, allowing the robot to use the whole range of quadrupedal gaits (ie from low …

In human and animal motor control several sensory organs contribute to a network of
sensory pathways modulating the motion depending on the task and the phase of execution …

Signals from sensory receptors in muscles and skin enter the central nervous system (CNS),
where they contribute to kinaesthesia and the generation of motor commands. Many lines of …

Humans can make smooth, continuous transitions in walking direction from forward to
backward. Thus, the processing of sensory input must allow a similar continuum of …

Nature has solved the problem of controlling legged locomotion many thousands of times in
animals exhibiting an enormous variety of neuromechanical structures. Control systems …

Grado de estiramiento muscular... y mandan esta información a la médula y al cerebro para
que la procese. Después, el cerebro procesa esta información y la manda a los músculos …

The presence of force-feedback inhibition was explored during reflex responses in five
subjects with known incidence of stroke. Using constant velocity stretches, it was previously …

Most walking assist systems reported are not available for real-world environment, where
frequent perturbations are caused by slips, uneven terrain, slopes and obstacles. On the …
