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

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

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

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 …

In the last years, several studies have been focused on understanding how the central
nervous system controls muscles to perform a specific motor task. Although it still remains an …

Age modifies walking balance and neuromuscular control. Cognitive and postural
constraints can increase walking balance difficulty and magnify age-related differences …

Here we examined changes in muscle coordination associated with improved motor
performance after partnered, dance-based rehabilitation in individuals with mild to moderate …

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease affecting
multiple functional systems and resulting in motor impairments associated with muscle …

Muscle synergies calculated from electromyography (EMG) data identify weighted groups of
muscles activated together during functional tasks. Research has shown that fewer …
