Background Although walking speed is the most common measure of gait performance post-
stroke, improved walking speed following rehabilitation does not always indicate the …

Interest in emulating the properties of biological muscles that allow for fast adaptability and
control in unstructured environments has motivated researchers to develop new soft …

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 …

Modular organization of human movement has been studied for several decades using
muscle synergy analysis. Whether the reduction in control dimensionality calculated by …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signal has been used in upper limb rehabilitation robots
(ULRR). However, existing ULRR based on myoelectric controllers suffers from limited …

A common theory of motor control posits that movement is controlled by muscle synergies.
However, the behavior of these synergies during highly complex movements remains …

Background Muscle synergies analysis can provide a deep understanding of motor
impairment after stroke and of changes after rehabilitation. In this study, the neuro …

This paper reviews the technological advances and clinical results obtained in the
neuroprosthetic management of foot drop. Functional electrical stimulation has been widely …

Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to determine the number of muscle
synergies and the distribution of muscle weightings in stroke patients during gait. Material …

Muscle coordination is often impaired after stroke, leading to deficits in the control of walking
and balance. In this study, we examined features of muscle coordination associated with …
