A Gluteus-Specific Muscle Synergy Recruited During the First Recovery Step Following a Backward Pitch Perturbation
A Gluteus-Specific Muscle Synergy Recruited During the First Recovery Step Following a Backward Pitch Perturbation 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The central nervous system momentarily activates a set of specific muscle synergies to maintain balance when external mechanical perturbations induce walking instability, which is critically involved in preventing falls. The… read more

Lower Limb Torque Prediction for Sit-To-Walk Strategies Using Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks
Lower Limb Torque Prediction for Sit-To-Walk Strategies Using Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Joint torque prediction is crucial when investigating biomechanics, evaluating treatments, and designing powered assistive devices. Controllers in assistive technology require reference torque trajectories to set the level of assistance for… read more
