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

Driven by recent empirical studies, we offer a new understanding of the degrees of freedom
problem, and propose a refined concept of synergy as a neural organization that ensures a …

Extracting muscle synergies from surface electromyographic signals (sEMGs) during
exercises has been widely applied to evaluate motor control strategies. This study explores …

Muscle synergies are neural coordinative structures that function to alleviate the
computational burden associated with the control of movement and posture. In this …

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

Several recent studies have used matrix factorization algorithms to assess the hypothesis
that behaviors might be produced through the combination of a small number of muscle …

Muscle synergies have been proposed as a mechanism to simplify movement control.
Whether these coactivation patterns have any physiological reality within the nervous …
