Abstract
The paths taken by myoblasts during the proliferation and fusion phases have been analyzed. It was found that, although the criteria for the two-dimensional random-walk theory were not satisfied, analyses of related parameters showed important differences between cell movement in these two phases. It appears that cell movement just prior to fusion is characterized by longer steps and a smaller angle of departure from the previous direction of motion when compared with cells in the proliferative cells.
