Motor unit synchronization and neuromuscular performance.
نویسنده
چکیده
The acute and chronic plasticity of motor unit synchronization suggests that it must represent a deliberate strategy for neuromuscular activation. The most likely functional role of motor unit synchronization is to increase the rate of force development during rapid contractions or as a mechanism to coordinate the activity of multiple muscles in synergy.

A Hybrid Classifier for Characterizing Motor Unit Action Potentials in Diagnosing Neuromuscular Disorders
Background: The time and frequency features of motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) extracted from electromyographic (EMG) signal provide discriminative information for diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. However, the results of conventional automatic diagnosis methods using MUAP features is not convincing yet.Objective: The main goal in designing a MUAP characterization system ...
متن کاملThe aging neuromuscular system and motor performance.
Age-related changes in the basic functional unit of the neuromuscular system, the motor unit, and its neural inputs have a profound effect on motor function, especially among the expanding number of old (older than ∼60 yr) and very old (older than ∼80 yr) adults. This review presents evidence that age-related changes in motor unit morphology and properties lead to impaired motor performance tha...
متن کاملCharacteristics of the Motor Units during Sternocleidomastoid Isometric Flexion among Patients with Mechanical Neck Disorder and Asymptomatic Individuals
Mechanical neck disorder is a widespread and non-neurological musculoskeletal condition resulting from modern lifestyles. Presently, the fundamental electrophysiological properties of the motor units of the sternocleidomastoid muscles and the characteristics of the short-term synchronization of the motor unit in patients with neck pain are ambiguous. This study therefore aims to clarify the fun...
متن کاملAdaptations in biceps brachii motor unit activity after repeated bouts of eccentric exercise in elbow flexor muscles.
The purpose of this study was to examine changes in motor unit activity in the biceps brachii muscle after an initial (Bout 1) and repeated (Bout 2) session of eccentric exercise separated by 1 wk. Eight subjects (aged 22 ± 2 yr) participated in experimental assessments of neuromuscular function obtained before, immediately after, 24 h after, and 7 days after each exercise bout. Each experiment...
متن کاملTask Dependent Synchronization of Motor Units of the Medial Gastrocnemius Muscle Revealed in EMG-Currents
Human movements have to be very tightly controlled by the neuro-muscular control mechanisms. In free style ski jumps the muscular events were as short as or shorter than 50ms and inter muscular co-contractions started and were synchronized within a time range of less than 5ms [1]. The Piper rhythm shows a neuromuscular control mechanism that can be seen in the EMG during isometric contractions ...
