Neuromechanics of muscle synergies for posture and movement.
Recent research suggests that the nervous system controls muscles by activating flexible combinations of muscle synergies to produce a wide repertoire of movements. Muscle synergies are like building blocks, defining characteristic patterns of activation across multiple muscles that may be unique to each individual, but perform similar functions. The identification of muscle synergies has stron...
متن کاملNeuromechanics of muscle synergies during cycling.
Muscle synergies have been proposed as building blocks that could simplify the construction of motor behaviors. However, the muscles within synergistic groups may have different architectures, mechanical linkages to the skeleton, and biochemical properties, and these put competing demands on the most appropriate way to activate them for different mechanical tasks. This study identifies the exte...
متن کاملShared 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 cycling in healthy humans from the perspective of muscle synergies. Three hypotheses were tested: 1) muscle synergies extracted from walking trials are similar to those extracted during cycling; 2) muscle synergies extrac...
متن کاملInvestigation of Muscle Synergies Using Four Different Methods of Synergy Extraction While Running on a Treadmill in Beginner Runners
Introduction: The study of muscle synergy is a new way to evaluate the functioning of the human body's control system. Different mathematical methods are used to extract muscle synergies from electromyographic data, and this factor can cause different outputs in muscle synergies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate muscle synergies using four different synergy extraction methods...
متن کاملAnticipatory Effects on Lower Extremity Neuromechanics During a Cutting Task.
CONTEXT Continued research into the mechanism of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury helps to improve clinical interventions and injury-prevention strategies. A better understanding of the effects of anticipation on landing neuromechanics may benefit training interventions. OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of anticipation on lower extremity neuromechanics during a single-legged lan...
