    Reduction and recovery of self-sustained muscle activity after fatiguing plantar flexor contractions

    Persistent inward calcium and sodium currents (PICs) are crucial for initiation and maintenance of motoneuron firing, and thus muscular force. However, there is a lack of data describing the effects of fatigui...

    Involuntary sustained firing of plantar flexor motor neurones: effect of electrical stimulation parameters during tendon vibration

    Simultaneous application of tendon vibration and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) induces an involuntary sustained torque. We examined the effect of different NMES parameters (intensity, pattern of ...
