title: The learned rearrangement of an inborn postural pattern.
abstract: The postural displacement accompanying a learned movement was studied in the dog. Dogs were trained to change the diagonal postural pattern into an ipsilateral one. Such a rearrangement of inborn postural pattern is very difficult and requires several hundred trials. A biomechanical model connecting the changes of pressure of different limbs with kinematics of different part of the body is proposed.
