Comparative analysis of muscle synergies in gait of stroke patients and healthy controls
Our findings suggest a certain degree of preserved motor function in stroke patients' gait, even in the presence of recent hemiparesis, but with evident alterations in the synergies' temporal activation. Stroke rehabilitation by targeting abnormal muscle synergy activations may help shape personalized treatment plans.
