Muscle synergies in cycling after incomplete spinal cord injury: correlation with clinical measures of motor function and spasticity

Background: After incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI), patients suffer important sensorimotor impairments, such as abnormal locomotion patterns and spasticity. Complementary to current clinical diagnostic procedures, the analysis of muscle synergies has emerged as a promising tool to study muscle c...
