The influence of musculoskeletal pain disorders on muscle synergies-A systematic review.
Bernard X W LiewAlessandro Del VecchioDeborah FallaPublished in: PloS one (2018)
MSK pain alters the structure of variability in muscle control, although its specific nature remains unclear. Greater consistency in muscle synergy analysis may be achieved with appropriate selection of muscles assessed and ensuring consistent achievement of motor task outcomes. Synergy analysis is a promising method to reveal novel understandings of altered motor control, which may facilitate the assessment and treatment of MSK pain disorders.
