Abstract excerpt

Locomotion - whether walking, running, or crawling - depends on the precise coordination of forces between the body and its surroundings. Two critical factors in this process are the force that resists the relative motion between two bodies, and mechanosensation, the body's ability to sense and respond to mechanical forces. Together, these processes enable efficient locomotion across diverse environments, yet how...
