Published: 1 December 2010
...R. Hustert; M. Baldus SUMMARY Ballistic accelerations of a limb or the whole body require special joint mechanisms in many animals. Specialized joints can be moved by stereotypic or variable motor control during motor patterns with and without ballistic components. As a model of variable motor...
