A Note on the Noninvasive Estimation of Muscle Fiber Conduction Velocity

Average muscle action potential conduction velocity values were obtained during isometric constant-force contractions by a cross-correlation technique. To minimize the bias introduced by nondelayed activity appearing on the two myoelectric derivations, the signals were doubly differentiated. This ar...

Description
Summary:Average muscle action potential conduction velocity values were obtained during isometric constant-force contractions by a cross-correlation technique. To minimize the bias introduced by nondelayed activity appearing on the two myoelectric derivations, the signals were doubly differentiated. This arrangement effectively reduced the nondelayed activity and increased the accuracy of the estimate.
