The how and why of arm swing during human walking

P Meyns, SM Bruijn, J Duysens - Gait & posture, 2013 - Elsevier
Humans walk bipedally, and thus, it is unclear why they swing their arms. In this paper, we
will review the mechanisms and functions of arm swinging in human gait. First, we discuss …

The neural control of interlimb coordination during mammalian locomotion

A Frigon - Journal of neurophysiology, 2017 - journals.physiology.org
Neuronal networks within the spinal cord directly control rhythmic movements of the
arms/forelimbs and legs/hindlimbs during locomotion in mammals. For an effective …

Muscle synergies and coherence networks reflect different modes of coordination during walking

JN Kerkman, A Bekius, TW Boonstra… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
When walking speed is increased, the frequency ratio between the arm and leg swing
switches spontaneously from 2: 1 to 1: 1. We examined whether these switches are …

Combining afferent stimulation and mirror therapy for rehabilitating motor function, motor control, ambulation, and daily functions after stroke

KC Lin, PC Huang, Y Chen, C Wu… - … and neural repair, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
Background. Mirror therapy (MT) and mesh glove (MG) afferent stimulation may be effective
in reducing motor impairment after stroke. A hybrid intervention of MT combined with MG …

Speed-dependent modulation of the locomotor behavior in adult mice reveals attractor and transitional gaits

M Lemieux, N Josset, M Roussel, S Couraud… - Frontiers in …, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Locomotion results from an interplay between biomechanical constraints of the muscles
attached to the skeleton and the neuronal circuits controlling and coordinating muscle …

Comprehensive quantitative investigation of arm swing during walking at various speed and surface slope conditions

B Hejrati, S Chesebrough, KB Foreman… - Human movement …, 2016 - Elsevier
Previous studies have shown that inclusion of arm swing in gait rehabilitation leads to more
effective walking recovery in patients with walking impairments. However, little is known …

Non-gait-specific intervention for the rehabilitation of walking after SCI: role of the arms

R Zhou, L Alvarado, R Ogilvie… - Journal of …, 2018 - journals.physiology.org
Arm movements modulate leg activity and improve gait efficiency; however, current
rehabilitation interventions focus on improving walking through gait-specific training and do …

Reduced gait stability in high-functioning poststroke individuals

T Krasovsky, A Lamontagne… - Journal of …, 2013 - journals.physiology.org
Falls during walking are a major cause of poststroke injury, and walking faster may decrease
the ability to recover following a gait perturbation. We compared gait stability between high …

Automated analysis of stroke mouse trajectory data with traja

J Shenk, KJ Lohkamp, M Wiesmann… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Quantitative characterization of mouse activity, locomotion and walking patterns requires the
monitoring of position and activity over long periods of time. Manual behavioral phenotyping …

Speed-dependent modulation of phase variations on a step-by-step basis and its impact on the consistency of interlimb coordination during quadrupedal locomotion …

A Frigon, G D'Angelo, Y Thibaudier… - Journal of …, 2014 - journals.physiology.org
It is well established that stance duration changes more than swing duration for a given
change in cycle duration. Small variations in cycle duration are also observed at any given …
