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

Changes in Spatiotemporal Variability of Muscular Response under the Influence of Post-stroke Spasticity

Changes in Spatiotemporal Variability of Muscular Response under the Influence of Post-stroke Spasticity 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Spasticity is characterized by involuntary muscle activation due to the hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex. However, the temporal pattern and spatial heterogeneity of motor unit recruitment in this activation are… read more
