Muscle synergies in upper limb stroke rehabilitation: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Upper limb impairment is a common consequence of stroke, significantly affecting the quality of life and independence of survivors. This scoping review assesses the emerging field of muscle synergy analysis in enhancing upper limb rehabilitation, focusing on the comparison of various methodologies and their outcomes. It aims to standardize these approaches to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions and drive future research in the domain.

Evidence acquisition

Studies included in this scoping review focused on the analysis of muscle synergies during longitudinal rehabilitation of stroke survivors' upper limbs. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, until September 2023, and was guided by
