Muscle fatigue represents a complex physiological and psychological phenomenon that
impairs physical performance and increases the risks of injury. It is important to continuously …

The surface electromyography (sEMG) records the electrical activity of muscle fibers during
contraction: one of its uses is to assess changes taking place within muscles in the course of …

In the last three decades it has become quite common to evaluate local muscle fatigue by
means of surface electromyographic (sEMG) signal processing. A large number of studies …

This brief review examines some of the methods used to infer central control strategies from
surface electromyogram (EMG) recordings. Among the many uses of the surface EMG in …

Purpose: The aim of this work is to provide information about the degree of inter-subject
uniformity of location of innervation zone (IZ) in 13 superficial muscles of the lower limb. The …

This brief review discusses the methods used to estimate the neural drive to muscles from
the surface electromyogram (EMG). Surface EMG has been classically used to infer the …

Insight into the magnitude of muscle forces is important in biomechanics research, for
example because muscle forces are the main determinants of joint loading. Unfortunately …

Effortlessly performing activities of daily living constitutes a cornerstone of our personal
independence. Naturally, various forms of upper limb impairments can have a substantial …

Motor units are the smallest functional units of our movements. The study of their activation
provides a window into the mechanisms of neural control of movement in humans. The …
