Evidence for altered upper extremity muscle synergies in chronic stroke survivors with mild and moderate impairment

Previous studies indicate that motor coordination may be achieved by assembling task-dependent combinations of a few muscle synergies, defined here as fixed patterns of activation across a set of muscles. Our recent study of severely impaired chronic stroke survivors showed that some muscle synergie...
