Previous studies indicate that motor coordination may be achieved by assembling task-
dependent combinations of a few muscle synergies, defined here as fixed patterns of …

Previous studies in neurologically intact subjects have shown that motor coordination can be
described by task-dependent combinations of a few muscle synergies, defined here as a …

The central nervous system produces movements by activating specifically programmed
muscle synergies that are also altered with injuries in the brain, such as stroke. In this study …

Significant functional impairment of the hand is commonly observed in stroke survivors. Our
previous studies suggested that the inability to modulate muscle coordination patterns …

Motor system uses muscle synergies as a modular organization to simplify the control of
movements. Motor cortical impairments, such as stroke and spinal cord injuries, disrupt the …

We present a method called muscle synergy analysis, which can offer clinicians insight into
both underlying neural strategies for movement and functional outcomes of muscle activity …

Background: Recent experimental evidence has indicated that the motor system coordinates
muscle activations through a linear combination of muscle synergies that are specified at the …

Muscle networks describe the functional connectivity between muscles quantified through
the decomposition of intermuscular coherence (IMC) to identify shared frequencies at which …

Objective The flexion and extension synergies were quantified at the paretic elbow, forearm,
wrist, and finger joints within the same group of participants for the first time. Differences in …

Objective. Stroke affects the expression of muscle synergies underlying motor control, most
notably in patients with poorer motor function. The majority of studies on muscle synergies …
