Muscle synergy extrapolation method to reduce the number of electromyograms required to characterize walking in children with cerebral palsy

This study implemented a muscle synergy extrapolation method to estimate the fewest number of lower limb muscle activation patterns required to characterize walking in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Muscle activation data from a child with CP and a typically developing (TD) child were used. Findings show the applied muscle synergy extrapolation method can estimate unmeasured lower limb muscle activation patterns during walking for a child with CP.
