Abstract
Functional lower extremity reconstruction primarily aims to restore independent ambulation. We sought to define the synergies recruited during a walking gait to inform donor selection for various motor deficits. With these findings, we discuss the functional neuromuscular components of independent gait with the goal of informing lower extremity reconstruction.
