Abstract:
:Current research has yet to determine how passive dynamics and active neural control contribute to upper limb swing during human locomotion. The present study aimed to investigate these contributions by restricting pelvis motion during walking, thereby altering the upward energy transfer from the swinging lower limbs. Ten healthy individuals walked freely on a treadmill (CON) and with an apparatus that reduced pelvis motion (PR) at three walking speeds (0.9, 1.3, and 1.8m/s). Spatiotemporal characteristics of limb movement and muscle activation were recorded and analyzed. When wearing the apparatus, the ranges of the sagittal and transverse rotations of the trunk and shoulders, as well as vertical trunk center of mass movement all decreased. At higher treadmill speeds, the movement amplitudes of the upper and lower limbs increased. This increase was less pronounced in the upper limbs when the apparatus reduced pelvis motion. However, this decrease in arm swing was accompanied with a preservation of upper and lower limb muscle activity amplitudes. The temporal coordination between upper and lower limbs was also conserved irrespective of the PR or CON conditions. Relating shoulder muscle activities to upper limb kinematics suggested these muscles mainly acted eccentrically, providing evidence that passive elements are a significant factor in arm swing control. However, the conserved muscle activity patterns and temporal coupling of limb movements when pelvis motion was reduced are suggestive of an underlying active maintenance of the locomotor pattern via linked upper and lower limb neural networks.
