Asynchronous recruitment of low-threshold motor units during repetitive, low-current stimulation of the human tibial nerve

Motoneurons receive a barrage of inputs from descending and reflex pathways. Much of our understanding about how these inputs are transformed into motor output in humans has come from recordings of single motor units during voluntary contractions. This approach, however, is limited because the input...
