Electromyography-Force Relation and Muscle Fiber Conduction Velocity Affected by Spinal Cord Injury

Le Li et al.

Summary: This study used surface electromyography (EMG) analysis to examine the neural and muscle changes after spinal cord injury (SCI). The results showed that the muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) was significantly slower in the SCI group compared to the control group, and this difference was observed at all force levels. The EMG-force relation in the SCI group was best fit with negative quadratic coefficients, suggesting impaired EMG modulation at high forces. These findings indicate complex neuromuscular changes after SCI, including alterations in central neural drive and muscle properties.

Motor unit distribution and recruitment in spastic and non-spastic bilateral biceps brachii muscles of chronic stroke survivors

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: This study aims to characterize the motor units distribution and recruitment pattern in the spastic and non-spastic bilateral biceps brachii muscles of chronic stroke survivors. The results showed that the depth of decomposed MUs increased with the contraction force in the non-spastic muscle, indicating larger MUs with higher recruitment threshold locate in deeper muscle regions. However, no force-related difference in MU depth was observed on the spastic side, suggesting a disruption of orderly recruitment of MUs. The findings of this study advance our understanding of the neurophysiology of human muscles and the neuromuscular alterations following stroke.

Is the 'reverse onion skin' phenomenon more prevalent than we thought during intramuscular myoelectric recordings from low to maximal force outputs?

J. Greig Inglis et al.

Summary: This study found that during the stable phase of muscle contraction, newly recruited high threshold motor units have lower discharge rates but higher P-P amplitudes. Recruitment of more high threshold motor units resulted in a decrease in common drive levels.

Model-Based Analysis of Muscle Strength and EMG-Force Relation with respect to Different Patterns of Motor Unit Loss

Chengjun Huang et al.

Summary: This study conducted a sensitivity analysis on the strength of voluntary muscle contraction with different patterns of motor unit loss. It was observed that loss restricted to the largest motor units had the most significant impact on muscle strength, while loss confined to the smallest units notably affected force variability.
