Merging of healthy motor modules predicts reduced locomotor performance and muscle coordination complexity post-stroke
Evidence suggests that the nervous system controls motor tasks using a low-dimensional
modular organization of muscle activation. However, it is not clear if such an organization …

Common muscle synergies for balance and walking
Little is known about the integration of neural mechanisms for balance and locomotion.
Muscle synergies have been studied independently in standing balance and walking, but …

A neural circuitry that emphasizes spinal feedback generates diverse behaviours of human locomotion
Key points It is often assumed that central pattern generators, which generate rhythmic
patterns without rhythmic inputs, play a key role in the spinal control of human locomotion …

The case for and against muscle synergies
A long standing goal in motor control is to determine the fundamental output controlled by
the CNS: does the CNS control the activation of individual motor units, individual muscles …
