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 …

Modification or suppression of reaches occurs in everyday life. We argue that a common
modular architecture, based on similar neural structures and principles of kinematic and …

Goal scoring represents the ultimate purpose of soccer and this is achieved when players
perform accurate kicks. The purpose of the present study was to compare accurate and …

We have recently shown that the muscle patterns for reaching are well described by the
combination of a few time-varying muscle synergies supporting the notion of a modular …

Muscle synergy reflects inherent coordination patterns of muscle groups as the human body
finishes required movements. It may be still unknown whether the original muscle synergy of …

Recent work has described express visuomotor responses (EVRs) on the upper limb. EVRs
are directionally-tuned bursts of muscle activity that occur within 100 ms of visual stimulus …

Background: Postural activities involved in balance control integrate the anticipatory postural
adjustments (APA) that stabilize balance and posture, facilitating arm movements and …

Current knowledge of neural and neuromuscular processes controlling gait and movement
as well as an understanding of how these mechanisms change following stroke is an …

Modular control of the muscle, which is called muscle synergy, simplifies control of the
movement by the central nervous system. The purpose of this study was to explore the …

Research results obtained developing budget model of transfemoral prosthesis with
polycentric knee joint mechanism and microprocessor control are presented in this work …
