• Locomotion refers to a change in the position of the organism from one place to another. For example, a bird flies from one place to another.
• Movement refers to a change in posture or change in any body part without any change in the original position of the organism. For example, like moving hands to lift an object.
• Locomotion is considered as a movement but since all movement doesn’t involve a change in position of an organism, it is not considered as locomotion.
