  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. Unilateral training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unilateral_training

    A form of unilateral training can be utilised which involves only the movement of one limb, with the other limb being non-moving. However, the non-trained limb also becomes stronger due to the cross education effect. [16] Research conducted by Munn and colleagues, assessed that the untrained limb strengthened on average by 7.8% over a period of ...

  5. Degrees of freedom problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_problem

    Studies of limb mechanics focus on the peripheral motor system as a filter which converts patterns of muscle activation into purposeful movement. In this paradigm, the building block is a motor unit (a neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates) and complex models are built to understand the multitude of biological factors influencing motion.

    The list below describes such skeletal movements as normally are possible in particular joints of the human body. Other animals have different degrees of movement at their respective joints; this is because of differences in positions of muscles and because structures peculiar to the bodies of humans and other species block motions unsuited to ...

  7. Human musculoskeletal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_musculoskeletal_system

    The skeletal system serves many important functions; it provides the shape and form for the body, support and protection, allows bodily movement, produces blood for the body, and stores minerals. [4] The number of bones in the human skeletal system is a controversial topic.

  9. Gait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait

    The movement of each limb was partitioned into a stance phase, where the foot was in contact with the ground, and a swing phase, where the foot was lifted and moved forwards. [1] [2] Each limb must complete a cycle in the same length of time, otherwise one limb's relationship to the others can change with time, and a steady pattern cannot occur.
