Muscle fatigue is an established area of research and various types of muscle fatigue have
been investigated in order to fully understand the condition. This paper gives an overview of …

Several efforts have been carried out to enhance dexterous hand prosthesis control by
impaired individuals. Choosing which voluntary signal to use for control purposes is a critical …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) can provide multiplexed information about muscle
performance. If current sEMG electrodes are stretchable, arrayed, and able to be used …

Research Methods in Biomechanics, Second Edition, demonstrates the range of available
research techniques and how to best apply this knowledge to ensure valid data collection. In …

Research has found an advantage for an external focus of attention in motor control and
learning; instructing subjects to focus on the effects of their actions, rather than on body …

There continues to be great interest in evaluating the adaptive plasticity of the human
nervous system in response to exercise training or other interventions. For various reasons …

Insight into the magnitude of muscle forces is important in biomechanics research, for
example because muscle forces are the main determinants of joint loading. Unfortunately …

The aim of this review is to present the state of the art of the technology of detection and
conditioning systems for surface electromyography (sEMG). The first part of the manuscript …

• We propose that the probability of making either error can be minimized by using grids of
electrode to detect surface EMGs from multiple locations over a target muscle.• With grids of …

The purpose of this brief review is to examine the neural adaptations associated with
training, by focusing on the behavior of single motor units. The review synthesizes current …
