Abstract

Electrical activity of muscle motor units was studied by concentric needle electrodes in human subjects with normal and impaired circulation of the lower limbs. Shortening of the duration of motor unit action potentials of muscles (gastrocnemius, extensor hallucis brevis) was found when the blood supply to these muscles was disturbed, indicating a myogenic nature of the changes arising in skeletal muscles with an inadequate blood supply.
