THE NEURAL ORIGIN OF MUSCLE SYNERGIES [PDF]

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2013
Muscle synergies are neural coordinative structures that function to alleviate the computational burden associated with the control of movement and posture. In this commentary, we address two critical questions: the explicit encoding of muscle synergies

Action direction of muscle synergies in three-dimensional force space

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2015
Redundancy in the musculoskeletal system was supposed to be simplified by muscle synergies, which modularly organize muscles. To clarify the underlying mechanisms of motor control using muscle synergies, it is important to examine the spatiotemporal ...

Comparative analysis of muscle synergies in gait of stroke patients and healthy controls [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
IntroductionThis study analyzed muscle synergies in subacute stroke patients’ gait, comparing paretic and non-paretic limbs with healthy individuals, and explored the structure and temporal activation of synergistic muscle activation patterns ...

Comparison of muscle synergies in walking and pedaling: the influence of rotation direction and speed [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience
BackgroundUnderstanding the muscle synergies shared between pedaling and walking is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms of human motor control and establishing highly individualized rehabilitation strategies.

Can muscle synergies shed light on the mechanisms underlying motor gains in response to robot-assisted gait training in children with cerebral palsy? [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often experience gait impairments. Robot-assisted gait training (RGT) has been shown to have beneficial effects in this patient population.

Flexible Recruitments of Fundamental Muscle Synergies in the Trunk and Lower Limbs for Highly Variable Movements and Postures

Sensors, 2021
The extent to which muscle synergies represent the neural control of human behavior remains unknown. Here, we tested whether certain sets of muscle synergies that are fundamentally necessary across behaviors exist.

Modulation of Muscle Synergies in Lower-Limb Muscles Associated With Split-Belt Locomotor Adaptation

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Humans have great locomotor adaptability to environmental demands, which has been investigated using a split-belt treadmill with belts on both the left and right sides. Thus far, neuromuscular control in split-belt locomotor adaptation has been evaluated

Applying muscle synergy analysis to forearm high-density electromyography of healthy people

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
IntroductionMuscle synergy is regarded as a motor control strategy deployed by the central nervous system (CNS). Clarifying the modulation of muscle synergies under different strength training modes is important for the rehabilitation of motor-impaired ...

Data Fusion-Based Musculoskeletal Synergies in the Grasping Hand

Sensors, 2022
The hypothesis that the central nervous system (CNS) makes use of synergies or movement primitives in achieving simple to complex movements has inspired the investigation of different types of synergies.

Epidural stimulation restores muscle synergies by modulating neural drives in participants with sensorimotor complete spinal cord injuries

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2023
Multiple studies have corroborated the restoration of volitional motor control after motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) through the use of epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS), but rigorous quantitative descriptions of muscle coordination have ...
