Animals must integrate feedforward, feedback and intrinsic mechanical control mechanisms to maintain stable locomotion. Recent studies of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) revealed that the distal leg mu
Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to identify the effect of walking speeds on muscle coordination. In our study, a matrix, p×N, was arranged, where p = 800 values per pattern (8 muscles×1
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 syner
