Abstract
The interlimb coordination during overground locomotion was analysed in intact rats, using the method of contact electrodes (Górska et al. 1998). It was found that in animals moving with a speed ranging from 10 to 78 cm/s (step cycles 685 to 215 ms, respectively) the interlimb coordination was characterized by homologous phase shifts close to 0.5 and much shorter diagonal than lateral phase shifts. These features corresponded to symmetrical gait with diagonal sequence and diagonal couplets (Hildebrandt 1976). Shortening the step cycle changed the gait from a walking trot (duty factor >0.5) into a running trot (duty factor
