Research Abstract |
Our nervous system accomplishes target tasks by exploiting high degrees of freedom of our body. For instance, we can reach our hand to a desired position, even if the extension of the elbow joint is insufficient, by compensating the angle error by the other joint movement. In this study we examined when and how such joint coordination, a.k.a., joint synergy, is exploited during walking by adults, 10-year old children, macaque monkeys, and a passive walker. The results revealed that the control strategy for bipedal locomotion has changed through evolution and learning, and the physical structure of our body contributes to the generation of the joint synergy.
