The phenomenon of agonist-antagonist muscle coactivation is discussed with respect to its
consequences for movement mechanics (such as increasing joint apparent stiffness …

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 …

Physics of Biological Action and Perception helps researchers interested in exploring
biological motor control from a physics or alternative viewpoint perspective. The book …

The concept of primitives has been used in motor control both as a theoretical construct and
as a means of describing the results of experimental studies involving multiple moving …

The goal of the study was to explore the effects of hand dominance and muscle function
(prime mover vs. supporting muscle) on recently discovered intra-muscle synergies as …

We accept a definition of synergy introduced by Nikolai Bernstein and develop it for various
actions, from those involving the whole body to those involving a single muscle …

Background Analysis of sensorimotor synergies has been greatly advanced by the
Uncontrolled Manifold (UCM) approach. The UCM method is based on partitioning inter-trial …

Common assessment tools for determining therapeutic success in rehabilitation typically
focus on task–based outcomes. Task–based outcomes provide some understanding of the …

Biological systems differ from the inanimate world in their behaviors ranging from simple
movements to coordinated purposeful actions by large groups of muscles, to perception of …
