Distribution of muscle fiber conduction velocity of m. masseter during voluntary isometric contraction.
Muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) is the velocity of an interference wave due to muscle fiber action potentials. In general, it has been reported that the value of MFCV in m. masseter is larger than that in limb and trunk muscles. But the values of MFCV in the reports were measured in part of the muscle, and the distribution of MFCV in the whole muscle including the end-plate and the tendon has not been measured. In this study, surface myoelectric signals are recorded in m. masseter during voluntary isometric contractions of 20, 30, and 40% MVC (maximum voluntary contraction) in eleven healthy male subjects with the use of array electrodes. The value of MFCV is found directly using an averaging method. The end-plate zone is concentrated in the lower quarter of the muscle. The distribution of MFCV depends on the location of the measured electrode. The largest value of MFCV of more than 20.0 m/s is obtained in the locations of the end-plate and the tendon. The minimum value of MFCV is obtained at the location of 10 mm measured from the end-plate along the direction of the muscle fiber to the tendon of the upper side. The mean values with the standard deviations during 20, 30, and 40% MVC are 10.3 +/- 0.7, 11.6 +/- 0.7, and 12.2 +/- 0.8 m/s, respectively. The MFCVs between the different neighboring locations are compared and found to be significant by a level of 1% for each contraction level. The MFCVs increase depending on the contraction levels for various electrode locations on the muscle.
