The binding of a cell to the extracellular matrix that contributes to the directed movement of an ameboid cell. The binding of a cell to the extracellular matrix via adhesion molecules. The binding of a cell to the extracellular matrix via adhesion molecules that do not require the presence of calcium for the interaction. The aggregation and bonding together of a set of components to form a focal adhesion, a complex of intracellular signaling and structural proteins that provides a structural link between the internal actin cytoskeleton and the ECM, and also function as a locus of signal transduction activity. The attachment of a cell to the underlying substrate via adhesion molecules. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of attachment of a cell to the extracellular matrix. The binding of a cell to the extracellular matrix via adhesion molecules that require the presence of calcium for the interaction. The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of cell adhesion to an extracellular matrix. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix.
