  • What aspects form the EMG signal characteristics?

    Central nervous drive
    Action potential propagation
    Force, moment, movement
  • What are a few methods to quantify EMG amplitude?

    Root mean square
    Rectified and averaged
    Rectified and integrated
    Peak to peak
  • Of what parts does a motor unit consist?

    Motorneuron
    Nerve fibre
    Nerve twigs
    endplate
  • How does an action potential move once in the muscle fibre?

    From the endplate it moves in two directions
  • What is the highest firing frequency of motor units?

    25-30 Hz
  • What is the size principle?

    The more force that is required the more and bigger motor units will fire.
  • What is the influence of firing rate on force?

    Is of influence to about 30 firings/sec an increase does not increase force much
  • By what are EMG amplitude and muscle force determined?

    Recruitment of new motor units
    Increase of firing rate per motor unit
  • What limits the motorneuron firing rate?

    After hyper polarization
  • What causes the non regular firing pattern of a motor unit?

    Synaptic noise
