We have not found a ''triphasic'' pattern of muscle activation even during very fast movements. The ''triphasic'' pattern was not evident during eccentric movements either (see

Recruitment of single motor units (SMUs) of the masseter muscle was studied using macro representation (MacroRep) as the indicator of motor unit size. When subjects followed a slow isometric force ramp, units were usually recruited in order of MacroRep size. However, pooling the data from repeated r

Surface electromyographic (EMG) studies have been widely used to record muscle activity during human motor control studies. 2 However, during studies of single motor unit (SMU) discharge patterns in a clinical setting, a needle electrode has been the electrode of choice because of difficulty in isol
