Yeah ill try to. I'm just working on perfecting my method for my experiment right now but we're using the anconeus (small accessory elbow extensor) to describe motor unit firing rates during dynamic contractions. Most of our understanding of motor unit properties are through research during isometric conditions however there are some funny structural and perhaps physiological tweaks that occur during dynamic movement that change the way our nervous system has to work. It actually is much more active during concentric movement (especially fast) compared to isometric, and less active during eccentric movement; so our contraction type determines neuromechanical efficiency

Das it Chris

My sister is walking today

10/10 would smash.

cant wait to dismiss the results!

there will be nothing to dismiss. the science is sound and not hard to interpret. stainless steel wire electrodes measure electrical potential changes in the muscle and we count how many changes occur in one second to determine firing rate

live patients? steel rods into muscles?

people, rats? what?

yeah live patients, in humans. stainless steel wire, its like .004mm thick. what you do is feed two threads through a hypodermic needle and fold the end over the tip of the needle to make two little hooks. you use the needle to insert the wire into the muscle belly and when you pull the needle out the wire hooks into the muscle and stays in

poor people

how do u get the hook out lol?

guess its so small it doesnt matter too much? but if ur digging into muscle, what areas? hopefully people who dont have much fat, and non fatty areas

the wire is very fine so you just give a little tug and it unfolds itself but its rigid enough to keep the recording tips in place while the person is moving their limb. yeah typically you try to not use obese subjects lol fat generally isnt an issue though you know whether or not youre in muscle because obviously fat doesnt give an electromyographic signal
