Muscle synergies provide a framework to study motor control in healthy and clinical populations through electromyographic recordings during motor tasks. However, their variability has been poorly investigated. This study aimed to assess inter-session variability of muscle synergies during elevation tasks performed with the dominant and non-dominant upper limbs in healthy subjects. Fifteen young healthy adults performed explosi...

In clinical practice, the upper limb function of hemiplegic post-stroke patients is commonly evaluated using clinical tests and questionnaires. Performing a reliable investigation of compensatory strategies adopted for the upper limb movement may shed light on the basis of motor control and the mechanism of functional recovery. To quantitatively evaluate the compensatory strategies in post-stroke hemiplegic patients, we conduc...
