Evidence of synergy coordination patterns of upper-limb motor control in stroke patients with mild and moderate impairment

Conclusion: This study concludes that stroke shows more synergy variability compared to the healthy group and the alterations of muscle synergies can be described as a combination of reference synergies by four synergy coordination patterns. These findings deepen the understanding of the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms and possible motor control strategies adopted by the CNS in post-stroke patients.
