The central nervous system (CNS) may produce coordinated motor outputs via the
combination of motor modules representable as muscle synergies. Identification of muscle …

Highlights•Motor primitive analyses can capture kinematic and muscle level organization of
movement across reflex, locomotor and novel skilled tasks.•Kinematic structure and a …

Muscle synergy analysis is increasingly used in domains such as neurosciences, robotics,
rehabilitation or sport sciences to analyze and better understand motor coordination. The …

How does long-term training affect the neural control of movements? Here we tested the
hypothesis that long-term training leading to skilled motor performance alters muscle …

The central nervous system (CNS) is believed to utilize specific predefined modules, called
muscle synergies (MS), to accomplish a motor task. Yet questions persist about how the …

The aim of this study is to quantitatively assess motor control changes in Parkinson's
disease (PD) patients after bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN …

Synergistic models have been employed to investigate motor coordination separately in the
muscular and kinematic domains. However, the relationship between muscle synergies …

Falling accidents are costly due to their prevalence in the workplace. Slipping has been
known to be the main cause of falling. Understanding the motor response used to regain …

Healthy aging modifies neuromuscular control of dynamic balance. Challenging tasks could
amplify such modifications, providing clinical insights. We examined the effects of age and …

Human motor behavior is highly goal directed, requiring the central nervous system to
coordinate different aspects of motion generation to achieve the motion goals. The concept …
