Intermuscular coherence reflects functional coordination

CM Laine, FJ Valero-Cuevas - Journal of neurophysiology, 2017 - journals.physiology.org
Coherence analysis has the ability to identify the presence of common descending drive
shared by motor unit pools and reveals its spectral properties. However, the link between …

Muscle synergies and coherence networks reflect different modes of coordination during walking

JN Kerkman, A Bekius, TW Boonstra… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
When walking speed is increased, the frequency ratio between the arm and leg swing
switches spontaneously from 2: 1 to 1: 1. We examined whether these switches are …

Corticomuscular control of walking in older people and people with Parkinson's disease

L Roeder, TW Boonstra, GK Kerr - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
