Mountain Hiking: Prolonged Eccentric Muscle Contraction during Simulated Downhill Walking Perturbs Sensorimotor Control Loops Needed for Safe Dynamic Foot–Ground Interactions
Safe mountain hiking requires precise control of dynamic foot-ground interactions. In addition to vision and vestibular afferents, limb proprioception, sensorimotor control loops, and reflex responses are used to adapt to the specific nature of the ground contact. Diminished leg dexterity and balance during downhill walking is usually attributed to fatigue. We investigated the supplementary hypothesis that the eccentric contractions inherent to d…
Fine synergies" describe motor adaptation in people with drop foot in a way that supplements traditional "coarse synergies
Synergy analysis via dimensionality reduction is a standard approach in biomechanics to capture the dominant features of limb kinematics or muscle activation signals, which can be called "coarse synergies." Here we demonstrate that the less dominant features of these signals, which are often explicitly disregarded or considered noise, can nevertheless exhibit "fine synergies" that reveal subtle, yet functionally important, adaptations. To find th…
