A method for the longitudinal study of human thenar motor units
Abstract
Methods currently available to study the electrophysiological and contractile properties of single human motor units (MUs) preclude the same MU from being studied on repeated occasions. We have developed a method which allows single thenar MUs to be studied longitudinally. Sites were located along the median nerve where, using percutaneous stimulation, it was possible to selectively activate a single thenar motor axon as determined by: (a) the …
