Physiological consequences of doublet discharges on motoneuronal firing and motor unit force

Physiological consequences of doublet discharges on motoneuronal firing and motor unit force

The double discharges are observed at the onset of contractions of mammalian motor units (MUs), especially during their recruitment to strong or fast movements. Doublets lead to MU force increase and improve ability of muscles to maintain high force during prolonged contractions. In this review we d...
