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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A surface EMG signal represents the linear transformation of motor neuron discharge times
by the compound action potentials of the innervated muscle fibers and is often used as a …

The time course of muscle fiber conduction velocity and surface myoelectric signal spectral
(mean and median frequency of the power spectrum) and amplitude (average rectified and …

Key points Classic motor unit (MU) recording and analysis methods do not allow the same
MUs to be tracked across different experimental sessions, and therefore, there is limited …

Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function, Second Edition, provides readers with a detailed
understanding of the different facets of muscle physiology. Meticulously researched and …

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of motor-unit synchronization on the
surface electromyogram (EMG) and isometric force using a computer model of muscle …
