Motor Unit Action Potential Clustering—Theoretical Consideration for Muscle Activation during a Motor Task

During dynamic or sustained isometric contractions, bursts of muscle activity appear in the electromyography (EMG) signal. Theoretically, these bursts of activity likely occur because motor units are constrained to fire temporally close to one another and thus the impulses are “clustered” with short...
