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

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

One theory for how humans control movement is that muscles are activated in weighted
groups or synergies. Studies have shown that electromyography (EMG) from a variety of …

Myoelectric control is filled with potential to significantly change human–robot interaction
due to the ability to non-invasively measure human motion intent. However, current control …

Understanding neural control of movement necessitates a collaborative approach between
many disciplines, including biomechanics, neuroscience, and motor control. Biomechanics …

The observation that the activity of multiple muscles can be well approximated by a few
linear synergies is viewed by some as a sign that such low-dimensional modules constitute …

This book is born from the need for a succinct means to convey basic concepts of
engineering, mechanics, and mathematics to those who care deeply about combining …

Matrix factorization algorithms are commonly used to analyze muscle activity and provide
insight into neuromuscular control. These algorithms identify low-dimensional subspaces …

Upper limb loss has significant effects on the individual's quality of life. Artificial prosthetic
limbs as an alternative to the lost limb are designed to allow amputees to regain motor …

Proportional myoelectric control has been proposed for user-friendly interaction with
prostheses, orthoses, and new human-machine interfaces. Recent research has stressed …
