We used a musculoskeletal model to investigate the possible biomechanical and neural bases of using consistent muscle synergy patterns to produce functional motor outputs across different ...

We show that major differences in postnatal experience and development do not impact the fundamental deep structure of motor primitives generated in the spinal cords of mammals. We show that the ...

The development of a method to feed proper environmental inputs back to the central nervous system (CNS) remains one of the challenges in achieving natural movement when part of the body is replaced ...

How the CNS coordinates complex movements, each comprising a large number of muscles and joints, to attain a behavioral goal remains a fundamental question. Previous studies in phylogenetically older ...

Abstract: Objective: Aiming to quantify and analyze disease-induced alterations in human movement, we explored the co-joint synergy patterns in locomotion through a vision-based co-joint synergistic ...

Background: Recent studies suggest that muscle synergy patterns can be a guide for diagnosis and rehabilitation. Research question: Does human’s lower limb synergy pattern significantly change with ...
