Location In Vivo of the Innervation Zone in the Human Medial Gastrocnemius Using Imposed Contractions: A Comparison of the Usefulness of the M-Wave and H-Reflex
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology"
DOI: 10.3390/jfmk7040107
Abstract: The anatomical territory where the neuromuscular junctions are grouped corresponds to the innervation zone (IZ). This can be located in-vivo using high-density electromyography and voluntary muscle contractions. However, in patients with motor impairment, the use… read more here.
