Identifier Name Description
WBPhenotype:0001329 curly Animals exhibit a greater number of bends in their body compared to control. C. elegans posture assumes more than a single sine wave.
WBPhenotype:0000349 flaccid A semi-paralysed body phenotype in which muscle tone is lost and the animal fails to actively control its body shape (Wormatlas).
WBPhenotype:0002291 body posture amplitude variant Animals exhibit variations in body posture with regard to the extent of displacement measured from the mean position to an extreme position compared to control animals.
WBPhenotype:0002294 body posture wavelength variant Animals exhibit variations in body posture with regard to the distance between repeating units of a wave pattern compared to control animals. In C. elegans, characteristic sinusoidal body posture is sinusoidal.
WBPhenotype:0000175 hypercontracted Excessive and often uncoordinated body wall muscle contraction leading to shortening of the body.
WBPhenotype:0002332 track length variant Animals exhibit variations in the length of the minimum enclosing rectangle surrounding the worm body on a solid medium, as viewed through the microscope.
WBPhenotype:0002297 coiling variant Animals exhibit variations in the occurrence of a coil-like body posture compared to control animals. This includes the amount of time spent in a coil, the frequency with which coils form and the inappropriate formation of a coil, for example when attempting to locomote.
