Muscle activation patterns are more constrained and regular in treadmill than in overground human locomotion

This study compares muscle activation patterns during treadmill and overground locomotion, finding that treadmill movement results in more regular and temporally shifted motor primitives.

Lower complexity of motor primitives ensures robust control of high-speed human locomotion

The paper investigates how muscle synergies change with locomotion speed, finding that high-speed movement uses simpler, wider motor primitives for robust control.

Humans exploit robust locomotion by improving the stability of control signals

This study shows that older adults and those facing perturbations produce more stable muscle control signals during locomotion, enhancing robustness in challenging conditions.
