On the evaluation of muscle fiber conduction velocity considering waveform properties of an electromyogram in M. biceps brachii during voluntary isometric contraction.
The surface myoelectric signal during 20% maximum voluntary contraction was measured in m. biceps brachii using array electrodes for ten subjects in order to evaluate the distribution of muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) in a whole muscle. MFCV was estimated by two calculating methods of the peak maximum method and the cross-correlation method from the myoelectric signals which were processed by techniques of the averaging and the non-averaging. It was found that the values of MFCV depended on the location irrespective of the kind of calculating method used and the kind of processing technique of myoelectric signal. In both the motor end-plate zone and the tendon zone, the values of MFCV showed more than 7.0 m/s. In the regions other than the motor end-plate zone and the tendon zone, the values of MFCV showed about 3.90 m/s which were almost constant. The statistical differences of the values of MFCV were in the same locations measured not recognized between the two calculating methods nor between the two processing techniques. In the cross-correlation method, the relation between MFCV and the electrode location was evaluated by both the maximum correlation coefficient and the amplitude ratio between the different neighboring channels to evaluate the conductive waveform properties of action potentials. The changes of parameters (i.e., MFCV, maximum correlation coefficient and amplitude ratio) depended on the electrode location. The values of MFCV significantly increased in the regions of the motor end-plate zone and the tendon zone, where the maximum correlation coefficient and amplitude ratio significantly decreased. The values of the coefficient of variance (CV) of three parameters in those regions were larger than those in other regions, i.e., the regions other than the motor end-plate zone and the tendon zone. A high maximum correlation coefficient and a high amplitude ratio were necessary for a reliable measurement of the MFCV.
