Muscle length project

The aim of this project was to investigate whether whether alterations in muscle length could alter the common synaptic oscillations to spinal motor neurons, particularly in the tremor band (5-15 Hz). To achieve this, we decomposed motor unit spike trains from high-density surface electromyograms recorded from a leg muscle (tibialis anterior; TA) at two different muscle lengths using this algorithm. To interpret the results derived from the motor unit spike trains, we conducted a second set of experiments, combined with computational simulations, to investigate how changes in muscle length affected the low-pass characteristics of the TA twitches.For further details, please refers to the <b>READ ME</b> file.
