Assessing functional stability of predicted muscle activation patterns for postural control using a neuromechanical model of the cat hindlimb

The underlying principles of how the nervous system selects specific muscle activation pattern, among many that produce the same movement, remain unknown. Experimental studies suggest that the nervous system may use fixed groups of muscles, referred to as muscle synergies, to produce functional moto...
