Proper coordination of the four limbs, or interlimb coordination, is a fundamental requirement for locomotion in terrestrial mammals. The control of interlimb coordination during quadrupedal locomotion was studied in adult cats by independently controlling the speed of the left and right sides, or of the fore- and hindlimbs, using a treadmill with four independent running surfaces. Here, we briefly present some of our recent findings pertaining to the control of interlimb coordination during quadrupedal locomotion in intact and spinal cord-injured adult cats. |
