Fig. 1

Kinematics of the first recovery step of single-step and multiple-step reactions at increasing perturbation magnitudes. Effect of increasing magnitude on the first recovery step parameters A–D show results for single-step reactions (white circles), A'–D' show results for multiple-step reactions (black circles). (A) and (A') represent step initiation durations, (B) and (B') represent step durations, and (C) and (C') are step length. Abbreviations: cm = centimeters; ms = milliseconds; sec = seconds
