Where electrical stimulation is delivered affects how contractions are generated in the tibialis anterior muscle
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis describes experiments designed to investigate how motor units in tibialis anterior (TA) were recruited when electrical stimulation was applied over the TA muscle belly versus the common peroneal nerve trunk. The data from the first study (Chapter 2) showed that contractions were...
