The Control of Locomotion
Basic Bobath Course
HUMAN LOCOMOTION
Human erect locomotion is unique among living primates, requiring the evolution of specific neuronal mechanisms, and the integration of neuronal subsystems involved in postural and locomotor control(Mori, Matusue, et all 1998;Dietz and Duysens 2000; Grasso, Zago et al 2000; Dietz 2003; Rossignol, Dubuc et al 2006)
‘In Human upper limb muscles have usually lost their locomotor function’ (Dietz 2003)
HUMAN LOCOMOTION
“Human locomotion should involve the smooth advancement of the body through space with the least mechanical and physiological energy expenditure.”(Walters Mulroy 1999.)
