The nervous system controlling locomotion is highly tuned and very stable across different groups of animals, Mulloney said. That makes crayfish a good model for much more complex nervous systems such as the human spinal cord.

Both segments of the crayfish have appendages specialized for various functions, such as food handling and consumption, respiration, sensory, defense, locomotion, and reproduction (Barr, 1994; Miller and Harley, 1992;

Leg movements and leg muscle activity were monitored in unrestrained crayfish walking freely under several different load conditions. A variety of changes in the character of locomotion was found to vary with load including: (1) the timing and frequency of the step cycle and in particular the power stroke duration;
