Computational prediction of muscle synergy using a finite element framework for a musculoskeletal model on lower limb [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Previous studies have demonstrated that the central nervous system activates muscles in module patterns to reduce the complexity needed to control each muscle while producing a movement, which is referred to as muscle synergy. In previous musculoskeletal

Comparative Effects of Narrow vs. Wide Cuff Blood Flow Restriction on Muscle Synergy Dynamics: A Time-Frequency Decomposition Approach [PDF]
SensorsBlood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) is a training method typically performed with low-intensity loads, yet it has been shown to induce muscle growth and strength gains similar to those achieved through high-load resistance training.
