Motor unit firing rates and contractile properties in tibialis anterior of young and old men.
The effects of aging on motoneuron firing rates and muscle contractile properties were studied in tibialis anterior muscle by comparing results from six young (20.8 +/- 0.8 yr) and six old men (82.0 +/- 1.7 yr). For each subject, data were collected from repeated tests over a 2-wk period. Contractile tests included maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) with twitch interpolation and stimulated twi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Experimental Muscle Pain on Motor Unit Firing Rate and Conduction Velocity
The aim of this human study was to investigate the relation between the experimentally induced muscle pain intensity (i.e., amount of nociceptive activity) and 1) motor unit (MU) firing decrease and 2) MU conduction velocity (CV). In 12 healthy subjects, nociceptive afferents were stimulated in the right tibialis anterior muscle by three intramuscular injections of hypertonic saline (0.2 ml, 0....

متن کاملLow-threshold motor unit membrane properties vary with contraction intensity during sustained activation with surface EMG visual feedback.
Single-motor unit (MU) activities were detected from the abductor pollicis and abductor digiti minimi muscles providing the subjects with visual feedback of multichannel surface electromyogram (EMG) signals. The subjects could modulate the force to observe on the surface recordings a single dominant MU and modulate its firing rate for contractions of 300 s with a noninvasive EMG feedback. The f...
متن کاملMuscle phenotype is related to motor unit behavior of the vastus lateralis during maximal isometric contractions
Previous investigations have reported a relationship between skeletal muscle phenotype and motor unit (MU) firing parameters during submaximal contractions. The purpose of the current investigation, however, was to examine the relationships between motor unit firing behavior during a maximal voluntary contraction, Myosin Heavy Chain (MHC) isoform content, and various molecular neuromuscular tar...
