Abstract
From earlier force measurements it was assumed that the system controlling the position of the femur-tibia joint in the middle leg of the stick insect is active in walking animals. This hypothesis is confirmed by electro physiological recordings and is discussed in relation to several earlier findings concerning the function of the control system of the femur-tibia joint.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
