Excitability tests using high-density surface-EMG: A novel approach to studying single motor units

Excitability in single human motor axons was studied extensively by Joseph Bergmans in the 1970s (Bergmans, 1970). In his early pioneering work, single motor unit action potential (MUAP) responses were recorded using surface electromyography (EMG). His approach involved major challenges: isolating electrically recruited single MUAP responses and monitoring the threshold manually by careful investigation of the motor units' all-or-none activity. The introduction of automated threshold tracking techniques (Bostock et al.
