Explore the three components of fundamental body movements. See how locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movements are foundational to more...
in plants, the active movements in water characteristic of bacteria, lower algae, and Myx-omycetes, as well as of zoospores and spermatozoids. Locomotor movements are caused by the unilateral action of directive stimuli (toward or away from them), such as light (phototaxis) and chemical su...
The phase shift between evoked hip and knee movements could be positive or negative, corresponding to 'backward' or 'forward' locomotion. Such an essential feature of natural human locomotion as alternating movements of two legs, was also present in vibratory-evoked leg movements under appropriate ...

Summary The majority (82%) of normal infants crawl on hands and knees as the predominant means of moving from place to place before they get themselves to standing. Others shuffle in a sitting position (9%), creep on the abdomen (1%) or roll (1%), and tend to walk much later than ...
The seemingly simple tasks of standing and walking require continuous integration of complex spinal reflex circuits between descending motor commands and ascending sensory inputs. Spinal cord injury greatly impairs standing and walking ability, but both
Rats were divided into three groups: forced training involving stepping by PP and DP and non-forced training/assistance (nT). Training began 1 week after injury and was conducted for 4 weeks. Locomotor behaviors were estimated using Basso–Beattie–Bresnahan (BBB) scores, dorsiflexion of the ...
The chapter provides an in-depth assessment of how lizard behavior, especially escaping from predators and foraging, relies on locomotor movements and performance. Lizard locomotion can be characterized in a number of ways, from the ability to perform a specific task critical for survival to the ...
30, 31 The floor was divided into inner and outer zones. Time spent in each zone was measured and total distance travelled was measured as an indication of baseline locomotor activity. An imaging program (ANY-maze, Wood Dale, IL, USA) was used to track movements and measure time in ...
We first developed this neuroprosthesis in a non-human primate model that replicates locomotor deficits due to PD. This neuroprosthesis not only alleviated locomotor deficits but also restored skilled walking in this model. We then implanted the neuroprosthesis in a 62-year-old male with a 30-...
