The phenomenon of agonist-antagonist muscle coactivation is discussed with respect to its
consequences for movement mechanics (such as increasing joint apparent stiffness …

The neuromuscular system is responsible for all our interactions with our environment.
Although recent decades have witnessed numerous discoveries that have shed light into …

This report describes an early version of a technique for decomposing surface
electromyographic (sEMG) signals into the constituent motor unit (MU) action potential …

Golgi tendon organs are contraction-sensitive mechanoreceptors of mammalian skeletal
muscles innervated by fast-conducting Ib afferent fibers. With this clear-cut definition, tendon …

Movement, the fundamental component of behavior and the principal extrinsic action of the
brain, is produced when skeletal muscles contract and relax in response to patterns of action …

How is load sensed by receptors, and how is this sensory information used to guide
locomotion? Many insights in this domain have evolved from comparative studies since it …

We used surface EMG signal decomposition technology to study the control properties of
numerous simultaneously active motor units. Six healthy human subjects of comparable age …

The goal of this study was to improve the ability of a motor unit model to predict
experimentally measured force variability across a wide range of forces. Motor unit …

For the past five decades there has been wide acceptance of a relationship between the
firing rate of motor units and the afterhyperpolarization of motoneurons. It has been …
