Children with cerebral palsy with reduced selective control show stereotyped muscle synergies across activities
Physics-based computer simulations that predict the effect of treatments on gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP) have the potential to improve the clinical decision-making. To this end, it is important to accurately model patient-specific non-selective motor control. Muscle synergies can be use...

| Sumario: | Physics-based computer simulations that predict the effect of treatments on gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP) have the potential to improve the clinical decision-making. To this end, it is important to accurately model patient-specific non-selective motor control. Muscle synergies can be used to describe the ability to selectively control muscles. Children with CP present fewer synergies [1], which are more variable between subjects [2], than typically developing individuals. |
