coordination
- Lower-limb muscle function is influenced by changing mechanical demands in cycling
Summary: The human lower limb muscles have the capacity to adapt their function to satisfy the mechanical demands of the task, even during highly constrained, reciprocal tasks such as cycling.
- Trunk and leg kinematics of grounded and aerial running in bipedal macaques
Summary: In macaques, coordination of leg and trunk segments for bipedal locomotion indicates a running gait with limited ability for energy storage.
- To walk or to run – a question of movement attractor stability
Summary: In accordance with the dynamical systems theory, lower limb attractor stability is highest at a particular gait mode closest to the corresponding preferred speed.
- Eye movements are coordinated with pectoral fin beats during locomotion in a marine teleost fish
Summary: Rapid gaze-shifting eye movements called saccades occur primarily during abduction of the pectoral fins, when a large amount of thrust is produced, possibly to stabilize retinal images during thrust-free phases.
