Common synaptic inputs and persistent inward currents of vastus lateralis motor units are reduced in older age

2023-02-03

Abstract excerpt

Although muscle atrophy may partially account for age-related strength decline, it is further influenced by alterations of neural input to muscle. Persistent inward currents and the level of common synaptic inputs to motoneurons influence neuromuscular function. However, these have not yet been described in aged human quadriceps. High density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) signals were collected from the vastus...
