The procedure results in a redistribution of postural tonus which is reported by S as a decrease in the feeling of weight and in the effort needed to move. Differences in posture and movement are recorded by multiple-image photography, X-ray photography, and electromyography. Anatomical and physiological mechanisms are suggested to explain the phenomenon. The implications for behavioral science are discussed.
