Figure 4.
Weight and activation coefficients of the muscle synergies during the task in free space without external forces. (A) Weight coefficients for all muscle synergies (W1 to W5). Weight coefficients are shown for the two arms (dark: Dominant (D) and light: non-dominant (ND)). Control subjects (C) and MS subjects (MS) are shown with different colors as indicated in the legend. The error bars represent the standard error. (B) The green and red line represents the mean activation profiles for control subjects and MS subjects, respectively, for the five synergies (H1 to H5) in the dominant (D, first panel) and non-dominant (ND, second panel) arm. The shaded area indicates the standard error.
