(18) One hind limb of each frog was randomly selected to receive continuous 120-Hz HVPC at voltages 10% lower than those needed to evoke muscle contraction.
(19) Moreover in the symmetrical gaits spatial phase shifts between unilateral limbs were equal to zero, which means that hind and fore limbs were placed in the same point during successive steps.
(20) No evidence for a differential decussation of fore-limb and hind-limb fibers was found.
Rearward
Definition:
(n.) The last troop; the rear of an army; a rear guard. Also used figuratively.
(a. & adv.) At or toward the rear.
Example Sentences:
(1) The elongate and slim shape of the trunk provides great mass moments of inertia and that means stability against being flexed ventrally and dorsally by the forward and rearward movements of the heavy and long hindlimbs.
(2) When first bound on the central lamellar surface, Con A-coated particles would diffuse randomly; when such bound particles were brought to the leading edge of the lamella with the optical tweezers, they were often transported rearward.
(3) A characteristic feature of fibroblast locomotory activity is the rearward transport across the leading lamella of various materials used to mark the cell surface.
(4) The rearward increase in intersegmental phase lag is paralleled by a propensity of chains taken from more posterior sections of the nerve cord to exhibit larger phase lags.
