Mechanisms explaining the regulation of muscle force: motor unit firing rate, recruitment, and external factors Passive and active mechanisms determine the net, muscle force. The latter is associated with the number of muscle fibers excited, and thus motor units...
Identification of propagating action potentials with bidimensional grids of surface electrodes The muscle fibre conduction velocity (CV) is the speed with which action potentials travel along the muscle fibres. Owing to its sensitivity to events of applied interest...
Using high-density surface electromyogram to identify innervation zone in the external, anal sphincter muscle Innervation zones, where end-plates distribute within striated muscles, can be identified with arrays of electrodes. For this to be possible, electrodes and...
Understanding how action potential propagation in muscle fibres can be assessed from surface EMG This material was prepared with the goal of illustrating how surface EMGs convey information on the propagation of action potentials. Analogy is made to the wave...
Action potential generation and contribution to EMG amplitude estimates This powerpoint presentation contains 11 animations. Slide 1 illustrates the generation of the muscle fiber action potential and how it contributes to the generation of electromyographic signals....
