Recent work demonstrated that it is possible to identify motor unit discharge times from high-
density surface EMG (HDEMG) decomposition. Since then, the number of studies that use …

The evaluation of rate of force development during rapid contractions has recently become
quite popular for characterising explosive strength of athletes, elderly individuals and …

Key points We propose and validate a method for accurately identifying the activity of
populations of motor neurons during contractions at maximal rate of force development in …

Voluntary actions are controlled by the synaptic inputs that are shared by pools of spinal
motor neurons. The slow common oscillations in the discharge times of motor units due to …

Muscle fatigue is an exercise-induced reduction in maximal voluntary muscle force. It may
arise not only because of peripheral changes at the level of the muscle, but also because …

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of lumbosacral segments can restore a range of
movements after spinal cord injury. However, the mechanisms and neural structures through …

Objective. A signal-based metric for assessment of accuracy of motor unit (MU) identification
from high-density surface electromyograms (EMG) is introduced. This metric, so-called pulse …

This brief review examines some of the methods used to infer central control strategies from
surface electromyogram (EMG) recordings. Among the many uses of the surface EMG in …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

1 The adaptations of the ankle dorsiflexor muscles and the behaviour of single motor units in
the tibialis anterior in response to 12 weeks of dynamic training were studied in five human …
