The how and why of arm swing during human walking

P Meyns, SM Bruijn, J Duysens - Gait & posture, 2013 - Elsevier
Humans walk bipedally, and thus, it is unclear why they swing their arms. In this paper, we
will review the mechanisms and functions of arm swinging in human gait. First, we discuss …

Quadrupedal coordination of bipedal gait: implications for movement disorders

V Dietz - Journal of neurology, 2011 - Springer
During recent years, evidence has come up that bipedal locomotion is based on a
quadrupedal limb coordination. A task-dependent neuronal coupling of upper and lower …
