      The effects of fatigue on the electromyographic (EMG) reflex activities were compared during sustained voluntary contractions and contractions evoked by electrical stimulation (30 Hz) in the human first dorsal interosseus (FDI). Short latency (SL), medium latency (ML) and long latency (LL) reflex responses to a ramp-and-hold stretch of the muscle were recorded and analysed in 27 healthy subjects of ...

      Article scientifique
      To investigate whether the intensity and duration of a sustained contraction influences reflex regulation, we compared sustained fatiguing contractions at 25 % and 50 % of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force in the human abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscle. Because the activation of motoneurones during fatigue may be reflexively controlled by the metabolic status of the muscle, we also ...
