dc.description.abstractInvestigations on how the central nervous system (CNS) effortlessly conducts complex hand movements have led to an extensive study of synergies or movement primitives. Of the different types of hand synergies, kinematic and muscle synergies have been widely studied in literature, but only a few studies have fused both. In this paper kinematic and muscle activities recorded from the activities of daily living were first fused and then dimensionally reduced through principal component analysis (PCA). By using these principal components or musculoskeletal synergies in a weighted linear combination, the recorded kinematics and muscle activities were reconstructed. The performance of these musculoskeletal synergies in reconstructing the movements was compared to the kinematic and muscle synergies reported previously in the literature by us and others. The results from these findings indicate that musculoskeletal synergies perform better than the synergies extracted without fusion. These newly demonstrated musculoskeletal synergies might improve neural control of robotics, prosthetics and exoskeletons. Clinical Relevance— In this paper, musculoskeletal synergies were extracted from the fusion of kinematic and muscle activities recorded from the activities of daily living. These newly demonstrated musculoskeletal synergies might enhance our understanding of neural control of robotics, prosthetics and exoskeletons.en_US
