A methodology for assessing the effect of correlations among muscle synergy activations on task-discriminating information [PDF]
Muscle synergies have been hypothesized to be the building blocks used by the central nervous system to generate movement. According to this hypothesis, the accomplishment of various motor tasks relies on the ability of the motor system to recruit a ...

Sharing of hand kinematic synergies across subjects in daily living activities [PDF]
The motor system is hypothesised to use kinematic synergies to simplify hand control. Recent studies suggest that there is a large set of synergies, sparse in degrees of freedom, shared across subjects, so that each subject performs each action with a ...

Between-subject variability of muscle synergies during a complex motor skill
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether subjects who have learned a complex motor skill exhibit similar neuromuscular control strategies. We studied a population of experienced gymnasts during backward giant swings on the high bar. This

Muscle Synergies Facilitate Computational Prediction of Subject-Specific Walking Motions. [PDF]
Researchers have explored a variety of neurorehabilitation approaches to restore normal walking function following a stroke. However, there is currently no objective means for prescribing and implementing treatments that are likely to maximize recovery ...

Muscle synergies in neuroscience and robotics: from input-space to task-space perspectives [PDF]
In this paper we review the works related to muscle synergies that have been carried-out in neuroscience and control engineering. In particular, we refer to the hypothesis that the central nervous system (CNS) generates desired muscle contractions by ...

Muscle synergies after stroke are correlated with perilesional high gamma. [PDF]
Movements can be factored into modules termed "muscle synergies". After stroke, abnormal synergies are linked to impaired movements; however, their neural basis is not understood. In a single subject, we examined how electrocorticography signals from the

Motion control via muscle synergies [PDF]
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 ...

Do muscle synergies reduce the dimensionality of behavior? [PDF]
The muscle synergy hypothesis is an archetype of the notion of Dimensionality Reduction (DR) occurring in the central nervous system due to modular organisation.
