The f the right leg when ions aasamed by the ating forward of the g forward of tbe^left ion of the mus- on explains the LOCOMOTION. 618 various directions in which an individual, when erect, may fall according as one or the other line (center) of gravity is dis- placed for a long enough time. Walking (man) implies the alternate movement of each leg forward, pendulum-likci so that for a moment the entire body must be supported on one foot When the right foot is lifted or swung forward, the left must support the weight of the body. It becomes oblique, the heel being raised, the toe still resting on the ground ; and it is upon this as a fulcrum that the body-weight is moved forward, when a similar action is taken up by the opposite leg. Xt follows that to prevent a fall there must be a leaning of the body to one side, so that the line of gravity may pass through each stationary foot; hence a person walking describes a series of vertical curves with the head and of horizontal ones with the body, the resulting total being Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mills, Wesley, 1847-1915.
