Are eMG amplitude distribution changes over the upper trapezius muscle similar in sustained and ramp contractions?
These findings support the hypothesis that global motor unit recruitment to compensate for muscle fatigue during a sustained contraction, and to regulate force increase during a ramp contraction is controlled in a similar manner. Consequently, they confirm fundamental principles of motor unit activation based on recordings of limited motor unit samples.
Older Veterans in the early phase of recovery from AUD may have difficulty learning new verbal information. Deficits in verbal learning may reduce the effectiveness of verbally-based interventions such as psycho-education.
