Muscle synergy differences between voluntary and reactive backward stepping

S Wang, G Varas-Diaz, T Bhatt - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Reactive stepping responses are essential to prevent falls after a loss of balance. It has
previously been well described that both voluntary and reactive step training could improve …

Muscle synergies for turning during human walking

Y Choi, Y Kim, M Kim, BC Yoon - Journal of motor behavior, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Muscle synergy describes reduced set of functional muscle co-activation patterns. We aimed
to identify muscle synergies of turning compared with straight walking. Twelve healthy adults …

The effect of aging on muscular dynamics underlying movement patterns changes

CA Vernooij, G Rao, E Berton, F Retornaz… - Frontiers in Aging …, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Introduction: Aging leads to alterations not only within the complex subsystems of the neuro-
musculo-skeletal system, but also in the coupling between them. Here, we studied how …

Human-centric predictive model of task difficulty for human-in-the-loop control tasks

Z Wang, A Majewicz Fey - PloS one, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Quantitatively measuring the difficulty of a manipulation task in human-in-the-loop control
systems is ill-defined. Currently, systems are typically evaluated through task-specific …

Muscle activity in throwing with the dominant and non-dominant arm

JP Kuhtz-Buschbeck, P Keller - Cogent Medicine, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Muscle activation patterns of the dominant and non-dominant arm were compared during
two unconstrained throwing tasks (dart throws, underhand throws). Electromyographic …

Synergies reciprocally relate end-effector and joint-angles in rhythmic pointing movements

TA Valk, LJ Mouton, E Otten, RM Bongers - Scientific Reports, 2019 - nature.com
During rhythmic pointing movements, degrees of freedom (DOF) in the human action system—
such as joint-angles in the arm—are assumed to covary to stabilise end-effector movement …

Aiming for illusions: The perception of size and its influence on motor control

H Knol - 2016 - hal.science
The influential two-visual streams hypothesis ascribes specific functional roles to the ventral
and the dorsal network of the visual system. The ventral system has been hypothesized to …
