Organisation of human locomotion is phylogenetically based on the quadrupedal diagonal pattern. There is a polarisation in aid of inferior limbs in bipedal walking. Walking with sticks (nordic walking) facilitate the shoulder bunch activity into the locomotion. In the study we monitored differences between bipedal walking and nordic walking on one person. We used surface electromyography method, which was synchronized with a video camera.
