The Strategy of the Brain to Maintain the Force Production in Painful Contractions—A Motor Units Pool Reorganization

A common symptom in neuromuscular diseases is pain, which changes human movement in many ways. Using the decomposed electromyographic signal, we investigate the strategy of the brain in recruiting different pools of motor units (MUs) to produce torque during induced muscle pain in terms of firing ra...
