Intramuscular electromyographic (EMG) signals are detected with needles or wires inserted into muscles. With respect to non-invasive techniques, intramuscular electromyography has high selectivity for individual motor unit action potentials and is thus used to measure motor unit activity. Decomposition of intramuscular signals into individual motor unit action potentials consists in detection a...

In this paper a new-generation integral motor-drive has been demonstrated. It proposes a compact unit built to operate in arduous industrial environments with optimized power consumption and best practice motor management under different load conditions. It is the first truly integrated motor-drive unit with a design to overcome heat, vibration and electromagnetic interference which are damagin...

33 We analyzed individual motor units during electrically-elicited cramp contractions with 34 the aim of characterizing the variability and degree of common oscillations in their discharges. 35 Intramuscular and surface EMG signals were detected from the abductor hallucis muscle of 11 36 healthy subjects (age 27.0 ± 3.7 yrs) during electrically-elicited cramps. In total, 48 motor units 37 were ...
