The relationship of poststroke spasticity and motor recovery can be confusing.“True” motor
recovery refers to return of motor behaviors to prestroke state with the same end-effectors …

Recent technologic advancements have enabled the creation of portable, low-cost, and
unobtrusive sensors with tremendous potential to alter the clinical practice of rehabilitation …

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

Walking dysfunction occurs at a very high prevalence in stroke survivors. Human walking is
a phenomenon often taken for granted, but it is mediated by complicated neural control …

We reviewed neural control and biomechanical description of gait in both non-disabled and
post-stroke subjects. In addition, we reviewed most of the gait rehabilitation strategies …

Automaticity is a hallmark feature of walking in adults who are healthy and well-functioning.
In the context of walking,“automaticity” refers to the ability of the nervous system to …

Neuromechanical principles define the properties and problems that shape neural solutions
for movement. Although the theoretical and experimental evidence is debated, we present …

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

The experimental findings herein reported are aimed at gaining a perspective on the
complex neural events that follow lesions of the motor cortical areas. Cortical damage …

Aim Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have impaired movement due to a brain injury near
birth. Understanding how neuromuscular control is altered in CP can provide insight into …
