Preparation to a quick whole-body action: control with referent body orientation and multi-muscle synergies
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Experimental Brain Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s00221-019-05510-5
Abstract: We examined the control of postural stability in preparation to a discrete, quick whole-body sway toward a target and back to the initial position. Several predictions were tested based on the theory of control with… read more here.

Tuning of Muscle Synergies During Walking Along Rectilinear and Curvilinear Trajectories in Humans
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Annals of Biomedical Engineering"
DOI: 10.1007/s10439-017-1802-z
Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop a methodology based on muscle synergies to investigate whether rectilinear and curvilinear walking shared the same neuro-motor organization, and how this organization was fine-tuned by the walking… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.humov.2018.10.010
Abstract: It has been suggested that vestibular cues are inhibited for the benefit of spinal locomotor centres in parallel with the increase in locomotion speed. This study aimed at quantifying the influence of a transient vestibular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.04.038
Abstract: Recent studies have postulated that the human motor control system recruits groups of muscles through low-dimensional motor commands, or muscle synergies. This scheme simplifies the neural control problem associated with the high-dimensional structure of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-26780-z
Abstract: Voluntary movement is hypothesized to rely on a limited number of muscle synergies, the recruitment of which translates task goals into effective muscle activity. In this study, we investigated how to analytically characterize the functional… read more here.
