Accurate identification of motor unit discharge patterns from high-density surface EMG and validation with a novel signal-based performance metric.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:It is known that multi-site interleaved stimulation generates less muscle fatigue compared to single-site synchronous stimulation. However, in the limited number of studies in which intramuscular electrodes were used, the fatigue reduction associated with interleaved stimulation could not consistently be achi...
