Vibration-induced extra torque during electrically-evoked contractions of the human calf muscles

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>High-frequency trains of electrical stimulation applied over the lower limb muscles can generate forces higher than would be expected from a peripheral mechanism (i.e. by direct activation of motor axons). This phenomenon is presumab...
