Abstract：
:Simultaneous recordings of action potentials (APs) of multiple single motor units (MUs) were obtained in brachialis and biceps (caput breve) muscles during sinusoidally modulated isometric contractions of elbow flexor muscles and during sinusoidal flexion/extension movements in the elbow against a preload in the extension direction. The results show that MUs typically fire in one short burst for each sinusoidal cycle. The mean phase lead of the bursts of APs relative to a sinusoidally modulated isometric torque in the elbow joint or relative to sinusoidal movements in the elbow increases gradually with frequency. The increase of the mean phase lead during isometric contractions was very similar for all MUs and could be explained well by modeling the force production of MUs with a second-order linear low-pass system. For sinusoidal flexion/extension movements each MU reveals a specific, reproducible phase lead as a function of frequency. However, there is a large variability in phase behavior between MUs. Also, the modulation of the firing rate for sinusoidal isometric contractions versus sinusoidal movements appeared to be different for various MUs. In simultaneous recordings some MUs clearly revealed a larger firing rate in each burst for movements relative to isometric contractions, whereas other MUs revealed a smaller firing rate. This suggests that some MUs are preferentially activated during movements whereas others are preferably activated during isometric contractions. The results demonstrate task-dependent changes in the relative activation of MUs within a single muscle for sinusoidal isometric contractions and movements.
