Introduction Muscle synergies have been proposed as a strategy employed by the central
nervous system to control movements. Muscle synergy analysis is a well-established …

Abstract Background Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) promote upper limb recovery in stroke
patients reinforcing motor related brain activity (from electroencephalogaphy, EEG). Hybrid …

Background Abnormal patterns of muscle co-activation contribute to impaired movement
after stroke. Previously, we developed a myoelectric computer interface (MyoCI) training …

Objectives: Previous studies showed that the central nervous system (CNS) controls
movements by recruiting a low-dimensional set of modules, usually referred to as muscle …

The generation of isometric force at the hand can be mediated by activating a few motor
modules. Stroke induces alterations in motor modules underlying steady-state isometric …

Hybrid Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke should
enable the reinforcement of “more normal” brain and muscular activity. Here, we propose the …

Introduction Muscle synergy is regarded as a motor control strategy deployed by the central
nervous system (CNS). Clarifying the modulation of muscle synergies under different …

The muscle synergy hypothesis assumes that the nervous system controls muscles in
groups to simplify behavioral tasks, which makes it possible for modularizing motor function …

Background Most partial hand amputees experience limited wrist movement. The limited
rotational wrist movement deteriorates natural upper limb system related to hand use and …

Many patients experience motor and sensory impairments after stroke, leading to gait
disturbances. Analysis of muscle modulation mode during walking can provide evidence for …
