Muscle fatigue is an exercise-induced reduction in maximal voluntary muscle force. It may
arise not only because of peripheral changes at the level of the muscle, but also because …

Fatigue, defined as the failure to maintain the required or expected power output, is a
complex problem, since multiple factors are clearly involved, with the relative importance of …

The purpose of this review was to examine three issues that limit our understanding of motor
unit physiology:(1) the range and distribution of the innervation ratios in a muscle;(2) the …

To understand the neural factors which contribute to fatigue, it is not satisfactory to regard
fatigue as occurring only when a task can no longer be performed. Changes in muscle …

Muscle fatigue can be defined as a decrease in the force-generating ability of a muscle that
resulted from recent activity. Recent studies of muscle fatigue are reviewed that are relevant …

Spinal cord injury is associated with adaptations to the muscular, skeletal, and spinal
systems. Experimental data are lacking regarding the extent to which rehabilitative methods …

1. Single motor axons innervating human toe extensor muscles were selectively stimulated
through a tungsten microelectrode inserted percutaneously into the peroneal nerve. Twitch …

Fatigue is a major limitation to the clinical application of functional electrical stimulation. The
activation pattern used during electrical stimulation affects force and fatigue. Identifying the …

In surface electromyogram (EMG) and mechanomyogram (MMG) the electrical and
mechanical activities of recruited motor units (MU) are summated. Muscle fatigue influences …

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is limited by the rapid onset of muscle fatigue caused
by localized nerve excitation repeatedly activating only a subset of motor units. The purpose …
