  2. Interlimb coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlimb_coordination

    This flexible coordination can be accomplished by integrating the intrinsic regulation mechanism of the spinal cord, somatosensory feedback from the limbs and various supraspinal pathways in the model. [9] The mechanical linkages between the limbs and trunk is important for the stabilization of multi-limb coordination movements.

  3. Anatomical terms of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_motion

    Inversion and eversion are movements that tilt the sole of the foot away from (eversion) or towards (inversion) the midline of the body. [35] Eversion is the movement of the sole of the foot away from the median plane. [36] Inversion is the movement of the sole towards the median plane. For example, inversion describes the motion when an ankle ...

  4. Neural control of limb stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_control_of_limb...

    This concept can be extended to the limbs and joints of biological organisms in which stiffness describes the degree to which a limb or joint deflects (or bends) under a given load. Limb stiffness can also be described as the static component of impedance. [1] [6] Humans change the stiffness of their limbs and joints to adapt to their ...

  5. Motor coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination

    A woman exercising. In physiology, motor coordination is the orchestrated movement of multiple body parts as required to accomplish intended actions, like walking.This coordination is achieved by adjusting kinematic and kinetic parameters associated with each body part involved in the intended movement.

  6. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    To generate more force, increase the spike rates of active motor neurons and/or recruiting more and stronger motor units. In turn, how the muscle force produces limb movement depends on the limb biomechanics, e.g. where the tendon and muscle originate (which bone, and precise location) and where the muscle inserts on the bone that it moves.

    Repetition rewires your brain to make movements smoother, more efficient, and less taxing, says Dr. Jenkins, which is supported by a 2019 study in Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience that examined ...

  8. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_of_animal_locomotion

    Legged locomotion is the dominant form of terrestrial locomotion, the movement on land. The motion of limbs is quantified by the kinematics of the limb itself (intralimb kinematics) and the coordination between limbs (interlimb kinematics). [1] [2] Figure 1. Classifying stance and swing transitions of the front right (red) and left (blue) legs ...

    There are 1.9 million people with limb loss in the United States, according to Amputee Coalition, an advocacy group. Yet that is far from the only disability that can limit physical activity .
