Task constraints and minimization of muscle effort result in a small number of muscle synergies during gait

Task constraints and minimization of muscle effort result in a small number of muscle synergies during gait

Finding muscle activity generating a given motion is a redundant problem, since there are many more muscles than degrees of freedom. The control strategies determining muscle recruitment from a redundant set are still poorly understood. One theory of motor control suggests that motion is produced th...
