synergy patterns

which synergy pattern is more dominant in the UE?

flexion

UE flexor synergy pattern- scap, shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist/fingers

scap- elevated + retracted

shoulder- abd + ER

elbow- flexed

forearm- supinated

wrist/fingers- flexed

UE extensor synergy pattern- scap, shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist/fingers

scap- protraction

shoulder- add + IR

elbow- extension

forearm- pronated

wrist/fingers- flexed

which synergy pattern is more dominant in LE?

extensors

LE extensor synergy- hip, knee, ankle

hip- ext, IR, add

knee- ext

ankle- PF, inversion

LE flexor synergy pattern- hip, knee, ankle

hip- flex, ER, abd

knee- flexed

ankle- DF, inv

documenting motor control qualitative + quantitative

1- narrative

- what range/% did pt move through

- gravity eliminated or not

- did synergy influence movement

2- stage of motor recovery in stroke

3- outcome measures

synergy is ONLY from the

cortex

proximal ALWAYS

comes back 1st

in the UE + LE what is usually first to come back/dominant components?

UE- biceps

LE- quads
