Abstrakt     We have developed a novel arm cycling device that enables nine different movement modalities/trajectories ranging from purely circular trajectory to four elliptical and four linear trajectories where the direction of movement may be varied. Muscle synergies were assessed in a group of healthy individuals in the form of electromyographic activity of four selected muscle groups of the shoulder and the elbow. The results have shown that muscle synergies during elliptical and even more so during linear movement modalities considerably differ from purely circular trajectories. This implies that such a device may significantly extend the scope of strength and coordination training which is in current clinical practice done through arm cycling.
