Localised task-dependent motor-unit recruitment in the masseter

Summary Localised motor‐unit (MU) recruitment in the masseter was analysed in this study. We investigated whether differential activation behaviour, which has already been reported for distant masseter regions, can also be detected in small muscle subvolumes at the level of single MUs. Two bipolar f...

description Summary Localised motor‐unit (MU) recruitment in the masseter was analysed in this study. We investigated whether differential activation behaviour, which has already been reported for distant masseter regions, can also be detected in small muscle subvolumes at the level of single MUs. Two bipolar fine‐wire electrodes and an intra‐oral 3D bite‐force transmitter were used to record intra‐muscular electromyograms (EMG) resulting from controlled bite‐forces of 10 healthy human subjects (mean age 24·1 ± 1·2 years). Two‐hundred and seventeen decomposed MUs were organised into localised MU task groups with different (P
