Tuning of feedforward control enables stable muscle force-length dynamics after loss of autogenic proprioceptive feedback

Animals must integrate feedforward, feedback and intrinsic mechanical control mechanisms to maintain stable locomotion. Recent studies of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) revealed that the distal leg muscles rapidly modulate force and work output to minimize perturbations in uneven terrain. Here we pr...
