Motion and electromyographical analysis of stroke rehabilitation - Motion and EMG analysis of stroke rehabilitation

Stroke patients had inadequate muscle synergy structure, but the intervention by physical therapists (PTs) could improve the standing-up motion. Some patients had delayed activation of the synergy and could only stood up after they moved their center of mass toward their feet. However, the intervention by PTs could induce earlier activation of the synergy. Moreover, the intervention could properly shorten the activation duration of synergy for those who had unusually inappropriate longer synergy activation.
