Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a promising technology that can capture muscle
activation signals to control robots through novel human–machine interfaces (HMIs). This …

When restricting blood flow for the purpose of increasing or maintaining muscle fitness, the
aim is to reduce the amount of arterial flow into the limb and restrict the venous flow out of …

Decomposition of the surface electromyographic (sEMG) signal is commonly used to
examine motor unit (MU) firing behavior. However, the intra-and inter-day reliability of these …

Muscle force is modulated by varying the number of active motor units and their firing rates.
For the past five decades, the notion that the magnitude of the firing rates is directly related …

To the Editor: We read with interest the study by Looney et al.(13), investigating the effects of
load on electromyographic (EMG) amplitude and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during …

The neuromuscular strategies employed to compensate for fatigue-induced muscle force
deficits are not clearly understood. This study utilizes surface electromyography (sEMG) …

Joint trauma induces a presynaptic reflex inhibition termed arthrogenic muscle inhibition
(AMI) that prevents complete activation of muscles. Reduced motor unit (MU) output is a …

Purpose Fatigue-related muscle activity in the superficial quadriceps femoris (QF) muscles
has been widely examined; however, there is no information on the activity of the deep …
