Abstract

The signals that the central nervous system (CNS) produces and sends to the muscles to effect movementare not entirely understood. Muscle synergy theory suggests that the central nervous systemproduces a small number of signals that pass through a network that distributes combinations of thesesignals to the muscles. Though these synergies are rather stable over time, some variability is present.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 August 2014.
All research outputs
#4,836,328
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
#272
of 1,413 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,073
of 247,728 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
#4
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,413 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 247,728 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
