Reduced movement in humans, and other mammals, can cause significant health problems.
For livestock, reduced movement and increased time spent grazing encourage grazing practices that increase heterogeneous grazing at a pasture scale.
However, groups 1 and 2 significantly (P=.026) reduced movement time across all tasks from pretest to retention test compared with the control group.
Reduced movement across a landscape due to habitat loss and fragmentation is considered one of the primary reasons for species' population declines.
Due to obvious developmental differences between adult and newborn mice we designed an adapted score system for neonates considering the lack of fur, accessibility of skin colour, reduced movement, nursing/respective seeking behaviour and visibility of abdominal milk spots.

The treatment stymied a cytokine outburst and reduced movement of immune cells into the lungs.
A tear can happen when you change direction rapidly or stop suddenly and causes pain, swelling and reduced movement in the knee.
"If spinal arthritis is indeed a cost of invasion, long-established toad populations, (e.g., near Townsville) with lower endurance and reduced movement should have lower prevalence of spinal arthritis than populations at the invasion front," the researchers reasoned.
Animals that live in these fragmented areas often have reduced movement between the habitat patches, which can lead to reduced gene flow and pathogen transmission between patches.
In contrast, the lamP mutation caused flightlessness and reduced movement in surviving (escaper) adults [19].
