Amplitude cancellation of motor-unit action potentials in the surface electromyogram can be estimated with spike-triggered averaging.
The study presents analytical, simulation, and experimental analyses of amplitude cancellation of motor-unit action potentials (APs) in the interference electromyogram (EMG) and its relation to the size of the spike-triggered average (STA) EMG. The amount of cancellation of motor-unit APs decreases monotonically as a function of the ratio between the root mean square (RMS) of the motor-unit AP ...
متن کاملMotor unit pool organization examined via spike-triggered averaging of the surface electromyogram.
Voluntary muscle force control is accomplished both by recruitment of motor units (MUs) and by firing rate modulation of active MUs. Typically, MU recruitment and firing rate organization is assessed using piecemeal intramuscular recordings drawn from different experiments, or even from different subjects. As a consequence, it is often difficult to assemble a systematic description of the relat...
متن کاملDetecting the unique representation of motor-unit action potentials in the surface electromyogram.
This study investigated the relative proportion of motor-unit action potentials that are uniquely represented in the simulated and experimental surface electromyogram (EMG). Two hundred motor units were simulated in a cylindrical anatomical system. Action potentials for each motor unit were generated with a model and then compared with those of other motor units. Pairs of motor units were consi...
متن کاملAmplitude cancellation reduces the size of motor unit potentials averaged from the surface EMG.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of selected physiological parameters on amplitude cancellation in the simulated surface electromyogram (EMG) and the consequences for spike-triggered averages of motor unit potentials derived from the interference and rectified EMG signals. The surface EMG was simulated from prescribed recruitment and rate coding characteristics of a motor ...
متن کاملInfluence of amplitude cancellation on the simulated surface electromyogram.
The purpose of the study was to quantify the influence of selected motor unit properties and patterns of activity on amplitude cancellation in the simulated surface electromyogram (EMG). The study involved computer simulations of a motor unit population with physiologically defined recruitment and rate coding characteristics that activated muscle fibers whose potentials were recorded on the ski...
