Inhibitory reflex responses to electrical stimulation of the mental nerve were studied in recordings from single motor units (SMU) in the human masseter muscle. A new analytical technique for spike train data was used. Electrical stimuli were delivered to the mental nerve when the SMU fired with two

We have attempted to examine the nerve fiber population mediating experimentally induced muscle pain in humans. Two established methods induced muscle pain: continuous, intramuscular, electrical stimulation and intramuscular infusion of hypertonic saline. A progressive nerve block was achieved by a
The surface EMG area often exhibits progressive enlargement during a submaximal fatiguing contraction, but the underlying reasons still remain uncertain. Fatigue-induced changes in the surface-detected motor unit action potentials (S-MUAPs) of 10 human thenar motor units (MUs) with widely differing
