We reviewed neural control and biomechanical description of gait in both non-disabled and
post-stroke subjects. In addition, we reviewed most of the gait rehabilitation strategies …

Neuromechanical principles define the properties and problems that shape neural solutions
for movement. Although the theoretical and experimental evidence is debated, we present …

Complex motor commands for human locomotion are generated through the combination of
motor modules representable as muscle synergies. Recent data have argued that muscle …

Techniques proposed for assisting locomotion with exoskeletons have often included a
combination of active work input and passive torque support, but the physiological effects of …

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

Constant drive provided to the human lumbar spinal cord by epidural electrical stimulation
can cause local neural circuits to generate rhythmic motor outputs to lower limb muscles in …

We revisit the concept of synergy based on the recently translated classical book by Nikolai
Bernstein (On the construction of movements, Medgiz, Moscow 1947; Latash, Bernstein's …

Here, we present the design of a novel unpowered ankle exoskeleton that is low profile,
lightweight, quiet, and low cost to manufacture, intrinsically adapts to different walking …

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 …

A compact description of coordinated muscle activity is provided by the factorization of
electromyographic (EMG) signals. With the use of this approach, it has consistently been …
