Abstract
Previous studies have reported that stroke alters the structures and recruitment patterns of muscle synergies and leads to abnormal motor performances. However, modification patterns of synergies in post-stroke patients are still unclear, which results in limited applications of muscle synergies in the clinical environment. This study extracted muscle synergy from patients and compared it with a set of reference synergies derived from healthy individuals. Averagely, both groups identified three muscle synergies. Synergy merging analysis showed that affected synergies can be generated by four types of combination patterns of reference synergies, merging, sharing, losing, and preservation. The results promote the understanding of underlying neurophysiological mechanisms applied by stroke patients and clinical applications of muscle synergies.
