Thresholds, Firing Rates, and Order of Recruitment of Anterior Temporalis Muscle Single-Motor Units During Experimental Masseter Muscle Pain

CONCLUSION: The reorganization of SMU activity that has been suggested to occur in both painful and nonpainful agonist jaw muscles may involve not only recruitments and de-recruitments of SMUs, but may also extend to more subtle increases and/or decreases in firing rates, thresholds, and recruitment sequences of individual SMUs in the nonpainful synergistic muscles.PMID:34129654 | DOI:10.11607/ofph.2719
