Untangling of Lower Limb Synergies Post Stroke
Growing evidence demonstrates unique synergistic signatures in the lower limb (LL) post-stroke, with specific across-plane and across-joint representations. While the inhibitory role of the ipsilateral hemisphere in the upper limb (UL) has been widely reported, examination of the contralesional hemisphere (CON-H) in modulating LL expressions of synergies following stroke is lacking.
