Functional muscle networks reveal the mechanistic effects of post-stroke rehabilitation on motor impairment and therapeutic responsiveness

This study uses a novel muscle network analysis framework to assess post-stroke motor impairment and treatment responsiveness, identifying biomarkers and shifts in muscle coordination associated with recovery.

A single low-dimensional neural component of motor unit activity explains force generation across repetitive isometric tasks

The paper uses PCA and FA to show a single low-dimensional motor unit component explains most force oscillations during repetitive isometric tasks.

Quantifying the diverse contributions of hierarchical muscle interactions to motor function

This study quantifies hierarchical muscle interactions' contributions to motor function using Partial Information Decomposition, revealing networks linked to balance and motor variability.

Identifying differences in gait adaptability across various speeds using movement synergy analysis

This study identifies movement synergies during walking that differentiate healthy adults in gait adaptability across speeds and examines their moderating effect on arm-swing smoothness.

Feature selection for the classification of fall-risk in older subjects: a combinational approach using static force-plate measures

The paper presents a feature selection approach for fall-risk classification using static force-plate data, finding that optimal features were insufficient for reliable classification due to limited sensitivity to high-risk subjects.
