摘要

The neurological basis for gait involves numerous neurological features with a sophisticated series of feedback processes to realize the movement control of locomotion. Most prevalent are the corticalCortical mechanisms, which also rely upon the integrative characteristics of the central pattern generator networksCentral pattern generator. Additionally, the Achilles tendon reflexAchilles tendon reflex enables adaptive qualities during gait. Numerous afferent feedback and associated processes further refine gait, such as cutaneous afferentsAfferentCutaneous afferent, ankle proprioceptionProprioceptionAnkle proprioception, neck orientationNeck orientation, and arm swingArm swing. Intuitively, enhanced comprehension of these complex neurological foundations for gait shall benefit more biomimetic representative gaitBiomimetic gait for advanced powered prosthetics.
