Although classified as complex locomotion, this paradigm generates only subtle differences in forelimb muscle activity/wrist movements and comparable changes in M1 activity when compared to simple locomotion on a linear treadmill (Beloozerova et al., 2010; Marlinski et al., 2012).
Treadmill modalities encourage greater hip extensor activation compared to overground locomotion.
Interestingly, all participants in this study adopted a slower speed (13 23%) during treadmill walking compared to over ground locomotion.
The narrative line of a novel can be usefully compared to vehicles of locomotion.
However, compared to living systems, locomotion by such devices is still relatively limited, in part because principles of interaction with complex environments are largely unknown.
While individual rats displayed variable behaviours on the ladder (Fig. 2g), this precision task uncovered more pronounced motor deficits compared to basic runway locomotion.
However, in related assays measuring open field locomotion (albeit over a significantly shorter time period), NOD mice routinely demonstrate greater total locomotion compared to other strains (Amrani et al., 1994; Bothe et al., 2005; Miller et al., 2010).
Migration analysis displayed a significant reduction in the average velocity and trajectory of breast cancer cell locomotion compared to control, suggesting that bioengineered mouse ES cell microenvironments inhibited the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells.
In response to a sudden stimulus, PU males and C females showed a higher initial level of locomotion compared to C males, which only gradually declined, while PU females started at a high initial rate, changing rapidly to immobility.
Detailed analyses of kinematics and muscle activity revealed that by twelve weeks after injury fully hemisected monkeys implanted with scaffolds exhibited significantly improved recovery of locomotion compared to non-implanted control animals.
