DOI: 10.1016/j.rehab.2018.05.1020
Abstract: Introduction/Background Muscle overactivity, including spasticity and spastic cocontraction, is an involuntary motor unit recruitment participating in the spastic paresis syndrome after cerebral injury. Spasticity is defined as velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes. Spastic cocontraction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tnsre.2025.3562527
Abstract: The flexor synergy after stroke results in involuntary activation of distal muscles when lifting the shoulder against gravity. This contributes to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living. Robotic exoskeletons can be useful in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0171141
Abstract: The biceps or the posterior deltoid can be transferred to improve elbow extension function for many individuals with C5 or C6 quadriplegia. Maximum strength after elbow reconstruction is variable; the patient’s ability to voluntarily activate… read more here.

DOI: 10.30802/aalas-cm-24-000026
Abstract: It is assumed that hyperextension of the elbow joint beyond 0° in humans is due to local ligament and other soft tissue laxity. The common extant old-world olive baboon (Papio anubis), with a quadrupedal gait,… read more here.
