Muscles from the same muscle group do not necessarily share common drive: evidence from the human triceps surae

F Hug, A Del Vecchio, S Avrillon… - Journal of applied …, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
It has been proposed that movements are produced through groups of muscles, or motor
modules, activated by common neural commands. However, the neural origin of motor …

More than movement: the proprioceptive system as a new regulator of musculoskeletal biology
