Feasibility of muscle synergy outcomes in clinics, robotics, and sports: a systematic review
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 …

Shared muscle synergies in human walking and cycling
The motor system may rely on a modular organization (muscle synergies activated in time)
to execute different tasks. We investigated the common control features of walking and …

[HTML][HTML] Muscle Synergy Analysis as a Tool for Assessing the Effectiveness of Gait Rehabilitation Therapies: A Methodological Review and Perspective
According to the modular hypothesis for the control of movement, muscles are recruited in
synergies, which capture muscle coordination in space, time, or both. In the last two …

Shared and task‐specific muscle synergies of Nordic walking and conventional walking
Nordic walking is a form of walking that includes a poling action, and therefore an additional
subtask, with respect to conventional walking. The aim of this study was to assess whether …
