Emergence of Different Gaits in Infancy: Relationship Between Developing Neural Circuitries and Changing Biomechanics

Emergence of Different Gaits in Infancy: Relationship Between Developing Neural Circuitries and Changing Biomechanics

How does gait-specific pattern generation evolve in early infancy? The idea that neural and biomechanical mechanisms underlying mature walking and running differ to some extent and involve distinct spinal and supraspinal neural circuits is supported by various studies. Here we consider the issue of...
