Behaviour of motor unit action potential rate, estimated from surface EMG, as a measure of muscle activation level

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Surface electromyography (EMG) parameters such as root-mean-square value (RMS) are commonly used to assess the muscle activation level that is imposed by the central nervous system (CNS). However, RMS is influenced not only by motor...
