| Research Abstract |
A three-dimensional musculoskeletal model of the Japanese monkey was developed based on anatomical data and the locomotor behaviors were constructed by computer simulations based on measured kinematics data. In addition, a new mathematical model for the spinal pattern generator was developed to investigate the sensory mechanisms in locomotion control, demonstrating that phase resetting plays an important role to create adaptive locomotor behaviors.
