Recruitment threshold and muscle fiber conduction velocity of single motor units.
The average muscle fiber conduction velocity (CV) measured with multicontact surface electrodes has been reported to increase with the contraction force. To understand this behavior better, we studied the relationship between the recruitment threshold and the muscle fiber CV of single motor units (MUs). Myoelectric signals were recorded simultaneously with a linear surface electrode array and a...
متن کاملSpike-triggered average torque and muscle fiber conduction velocity of low-threshold motor units following submaximal endurance contractions.
The motor unit twitch torque is modified by sustained contraction, but the association to changes in muscle fiber electrophysiological properties is not fully known. Thus twitch torque, muscle fiber conduction velocity, and action potential properties of single motor units were assessed in 11 subjects following an isometric submaximal contraction of the tibialis anterior muscle until endurance....
متن کاملChanges in muscle fiber conduction velocity indicate recruitment of distinct motor unit populations.
To obtain more insight into the changes in mean muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) during sustained isometric exercise at relatively low contraction levels, we performed an in-depth study of the human tibialis anterior muscle by using multichannel surface electromyogram. The results show an increase in MFCV after an initial decrease of MFCV at 30 or 40% maximum voluntary contraction in all...
متن کاملConduction velocity of low-threshold motor units during ischemic contractions performed with surface EMG feedback.
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of ischemia on low-threshold motor unit conduction velocity. Nine subjects were trained to isolate the activity of a single motor unit (target motor unit) in the abductor pollicis brevis muscle with feedback on surface EMG signals recorded with a 16-electrode linear array. After training, the subjects activated the target motor unit at approximate...
متن کاملVariations in propagation velocity of muscle-fiber action potentials in individual motor units during voluntary contractions.
MUSCLE-FIBER CONDUCTION VELOCITY can be measured in humans in vivo during either voluntary or electrically elicited contractions. Its measure provides a window into the membrane electrophysiological properties of the muscle fibers, which cannot be directly measured, because the velocity of propagation of action potentials depends on the polarization state of the membrane. Measures of conduction...
