Trunk muscle activity across various trunk-limb coordination patterns in centipede locomotion

Daiki Wakita, Kotaro Yasui

This study examines trunk muscle activity in centipedes during different locomotion patterns, finding that the same muscles serve contrasting roles in generating undulation or straightening the trunk.
