✦ Synopsis

How motor proteins induce mechanical movement at the molecular level has been a focus of biophysicists for a long time. While the whole picture is yet to be completely revealed, recent developments in looking at nanometerscale movement with millisecond-time resolution driven by single motors have revealed important new details about the moving step size and amount of force generated per molecule.

Surface EMG is hardly used to estimate motor unit (MU) characteristics, while its non-invasiveness is less stressful for patients and allows multi-electrode recordings to investigate different sites of the muscle and MU. The present study compares motor unit potentials (MUPs) obtained with surface E
