Can muscle coordination be precisely studied by surface electromyography?
F Hug - Journal of electromyography and kinesiology, 2011 - Elsevier
Despite the many reviews and research papers on the limitations of surface
electromyography (EMG), there are relatively few that address this issue by considering …

Shared muscle synergies in human walking and cycling
The motor system may rely on a modular organization (muscle synergies activated in time)
to execute different tasks. We investigated the common control features of walking and …

Individual differences in the neural strategies to control the lateral and medial head of the quadriceps during a mechanically constrained task
The interindividual variability in the neural drive sent from the spinal cord to muscles is
largely unknown, even during highly constrained motor tasks. Here, we investigated …
