Neuromuscular fatigue during repetitive stimulation in elderly and young adults
Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the integrity of neuromuscular transmission and impulse propagation during fatigue by examining the muscle compound action potential (M wave) in elderly and young adults. The tibialis anterior muscle of nine elderly [{ie567-1}=67.7 (SE 1.7) years] and nine young [{ie567-2}=26.7 (SE 1.2) years] adults was maximally stimulated repetitively at frequencies of 20, 30 or 40 Hz for 60 s on separate …
