Insects are both Impeded and Propelled by their Legs During Walking

The kinetics of walking behaviour in stick insects differ from vertebrate walking behaviour. The differences suggest that insect locomotion consists of a hold-push-recover sequence similar to that used by a climber. This is supported by evidence from force platform measurements on free-walking insects and motor output recordings from animals walking on a treadwheel.
