The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of research in the field of aspects of neurophysiological control of parameters of atypical postures in humans associated with the use of external devices of the type of exoskeleton. The results of this review of the literature demonstrate the problem of the need to develop a theoretical model describing the adaptive mechanisms and interaction of the internal structures of the body in conditions of limited joint mobility, changes in tactile sensations as a result of interaction with external devices. The information obtained can be used in the physiology of sports, motor rehabilitation of patients, in the development of exoskeletons of the upper and lower extremities, in organizing the work of operators, in teaching specific movements.

Key words: functional state, muscle synergy, muscles, exoskeleton, robotic systems, motor learning, functional state
