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.
