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

The central nervous system (CNS) is believed to utilize specific predefined modules, called
muscle synergies (MS), to accomplish a motor task. Yet questions persist about how the …

Locomotion can be investigated by factorization of electromyographic (EMG) signals, eg,
with non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). This approach is a convenient concise …

The extraction of the accurate and efficient descriptors of muscular activity plays an
important role in tackling the challenging problem of myoelectric control of powered …

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether subjects who have learned a
complex motor skill exhibit similar neuromuscular control strategies. We studied a …

Detailed descriptions of gait impairments have been reported in cerebral palsy (CP), but it is
still unclear how maturation of the spinal motoneuron output is affected. Spatiotemporal …

Introduction Muscle synergies have been proposed as a strategy employed by the central
nervous system to control movements. Muscle synergy analysis is a well-established …

Muscle synergies calculated from electromyography (EMG) data identify weighted groups of
muscles activated together during functional tasks. Research has shown that fewer …

We investigated the influence of three different high-pass (HP) and low-pass (LP) filtering
conditions and a Gaussian (GNMF) and inverse-Gaussian (IGNMF) non-negative matrix …

Muscle synergies have been used for decades to explain a variety of motor behaviors, both
in humans and animals and, more recently, to steer rehabilitation strategies. However, many …
