Control of leg movements driven by EMG activity of shoulder muscles

Control of leg movements driven by EMG activity of shoulder muscles

During human walking there exists a functional neural coupling between arms and legs, and between cervical and lumbosacral pattern generators. Here we present a novel approach for associating the electromyographic (EMG) activity from upper limb muscles with leg kinematics. Our methodology takes adva...
