Since we tend to have a lot of incorrect muscle synergies, your doctor can use this to tell us how to correct them to get to 100% recovery.

Muscle redundancy allows the central nervous system (CNS) to choose a
suitable combination of muscles from a number of options. This
flexibility in muscle combinations allows for efficient behaviors to be
generated in daily life. The computational mechanism of choosing muscle
combinations, however, remains a long-standing challenge. One effective
method of choosing muscle combinations is to create a set containing the
muscle combinations of only efficient behaviors, and then to choose
combinations from that set. The notion of muscle synergy, which was
introduced to divide muscle activations into a lower-dimensional synergy
space and time-dependent variables, is a suitable tool relevant to the
discussion of this issue.
The synergy space defines the suitable
combinations of muscles, and time-dependent variables vary in
lower-dimensional space to control behaviors. In this study, we
investigated the mechanism the CNS may use to define the appropriate
region and size of the synergy space when performing skilled behavior.
Two indices were introduced in this study, one is the synergy stability index (SSI) that indicates the region of the synergy space, the other is the synergy coordination index (SCI) that indicates the size of the synergy space.
The results on automatic posture response experiments show that SSI
and SCI are positively correlated with the balance skill of the
participants, and they are tunable by behavior training. These results
suggest that the CNS has the ability to create optimal sets of efficient
behaviors by optimizing the size of the synergy space at the
appropriate region through interacting with the environment.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
