Erik Stålberg Uppsala Sweden Muscle membrane function - spontaneous Muscle fibre characteristics; diameter MU organization number of fibers grouping N-M transmission Motor units total number activation; pattern, fullness Stålberg Parameters to quantify in Conc/Monopolar EMG spontaneous activity shape of individual MUPs jiggle recruitment (early, reduced) fullness at strong activation dynamic changes with time (fatigue) 1
