The number and choice of muscles impact the results of muscle synergy analyses [PDF]

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2013
One theory for how humans control movement is that muscles are activated in weighted groups or synergies. Studies have shown that electromyography (EMG) from a variety of tasks can be described by a low-dimensional space thought to reflect synergies. These studies use algorithms, such as nonnegative matrix factorization, to identify synergies from EMG.

Changes in Immune‐Inflammation Status and Prognosis in Pregnancy‐Related Cerebral Venous Thrombosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Distinguishing pathological changes from physiological adaptations in pregnancy‐related cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is clinically challenging. This study aimed to characterize coagulation, immune‐inflammation, and dehydration status in these patients and assess their prognostic value.

Analysis of muscle synergy and kinematics in sit-to-stand motion of hemiplegic patients in subacute period

Adv. Robotics, 2021
Patients with stroke experience declined physical functions and aim to recover by rehabilitation. It is important to improve their functions in the subacute period. Hemiplegic patients who can stand exhibit differing characteristics such as the center of

Motion control via muscle synergies [PDF]

Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games, 2015
In the current paper, we present a control method based on muscle synergy extraction and adaptation to drive a human arm in a direct dynamics simulation of an overhead throwing motion. The experimental protocol for synergy extraction and model are first presented, followed by a control method consisting of a series of optimizations to adapt muscle ...
