Abstract
Stroke is the second-leading cause of death and a prominent source of both mortality and morbidity. Its profound impact necessitates a deeper understanding of its physiology and consequences, as well as the development of innovative assessment methods and treatments for post-stroke rehabilitation. This dual approach would not only enhance our knowledge but also mitigate the substantial strain strokes place on the healthcare system. One pivotal aspect of understanding and addressing post-stroke complications is the study of motor control strategies, particularly muscle synergies, employed by the Central Nervous System (CNS). In healthy individuals, the CNS utilizes these muscle synergies for efficient motor control, streamlining complex multi-muscular movements and simplifying its computational tasks.
However, following a stroke, there's substantial evidence indicating a disruption in these synergies
