According to the modular hypothesis for the control of movement, muscles are recruited in
synergies, which capture muscle coordination in space, time, or both. In the last two …

The purpose was to identify the variables that can explain the variance in the grooved
pegboard times of older adults categorized as either fast or slow performers. Participants (n …

The purpose of our study was to investigate the influence of a stretch intervention on the
common modulation of discharge rate among motor units in the calf muscles during a …

Recent studies combining high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) and
ultrasound imaging have yielded valuable insights into the relationship between motor unit …

The distribution of activation among muscles from the same anatomical group can be
affected by the mechanical constraints of the task, such as limb orientation. For example, the …

The relationship between individual muscle dynamics and whole-body metabolic cost is not
well established. Here we use biofeedback to modulate triceps surae (TS) activity during …

Introduction Conflicting results have been reported on the functional role of the proximal and
distal compartments of the semitendinosus (ST) muscle. This study compared the discharge …

The enigmatic benefits of acute limb ischemic preconditioning (IP) in enhancing muscle
force and exercise performance have intrigued researchers. This study sought to unravel the …

The level of flexibility in the neural control of motor units remains a topic of debate.
Understanding this flexibility would require the identification of the distribution of common …

The implementation of low-dimensional movement control by the central nervous system
has been debated for decades. In this study, we investigated the dimensionality of the …
