Motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) recorded from the same motor unit at two distances along the biceps brachii muscle with monopolar needle electrodes at high amplifier gains (20 microV/division) and averaged 2000-3000 times reveal total potential durations of 39.6 +/- 4.6 ms. In addition, the ter

The aim of this study was to test whether analysis of the irregularity of the motor unit potential waveform may supplement conventional evaluation. We have found that the irregularity is not a characteristic feature of potentials either in neurogenic disorders or in myopathy. We have found, however,
The relative impact of training on motor units (MUs) with differing physiological characteristics remains controversial. To examine this issue, we longitudinally tracked the contractile and electrical characteristics of six human thenar MUs in 2 young healthy subjects before, during, and following a
