Abstract
There are certain types of human or animal activities, which, in one way or another, are essentially connected with use of legs. Besides such kinds of locomotion as walking, jumping and running, they also include non-locomotive movements (standing, marking time, etc.). Locomotion, on the other hand, includes swimming, crawling and other types of mechanical displacement in which the role of legs is not so significant. So considering the types of movement which are impossible without legs, it is convenient to single out as a separate class all the systems which use legs for their operation.
From the Latin pedatus - having legs
