In the last few decades, a number of technological developments have advanced the spread
of wearable sensors for the assessment of human motion. These sensors have been also …

The interests and limits of the different methods and protocols of maximal (anaerobic) power
(Pmax) assessment are reviewed: single all‐out tests versus force‐velocity tests, isokinetic …

Previous studies in neurologically intact subjects have shown that motor coordination can be
described by task-dependent combinations of a few muscle synergies, defined here as a …

Muscle synergy analysis is increasingly used in domains such as neurosciences, robotics,
rehabilitation or sport sciences to analyze and better understand motor coordination. The …

It has been proposed that movements are produced through groups of muscles, or motor
modules, activated by common neural commands. However, the neural origin of motor …

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 …

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether subjects who have learned a
complex motor skill exhibit similar neuromuscular control strategies. We studied a …

Previous studies indicate that motor coordination may be achieved by assembling task-
dependent combinations of a few muscle synergies, defined here as fixed patterns of …

In this paper we review the works related to muscle synergies that have been carried-out in
neuroscience and control engineering. In particular, we refer to the hypothesis that the …

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 …
