Differences in motor unit behavior during isometric contractions in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy at various disease severities.
Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology 2022 November 22
The aim of this study was to determine whether HD-sEMG is sensitive to detecting changes in motor unit behavior amongst healthy adults and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients presenting diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) at different levels. Healthy control subjects (CON, n = 8) and T2DM patients presenting no DPN symptoms (ABS, n = 8), moderate DPN (MOD, n = 18), and severe DPN (SEV, n = 12) performed isometric ankle dorsiflexion at 30 % maximum voluntary contraction while high-density surface EMG (HD-sEMG) was recorded from the tibialis anterior muscle. HD-sEMG signals were decomposed, providing estimates of discharge rate, motor unit conduction velocity (MUCV), and motor unit territory area (MUTA). As a result, the ABS group presented reduced MUCV compared to CON. The groups with diabetes presented significantly larger MUTA compared to the CON group (p < 0.01), and the SEV group presented a significantly lower discharge rate compared to CON and ABS (p < 0.01). In addition, the SEV group presented significantly higher CoVforce compared to CON and MOD. These results support the use of HD-SEMG as a method to detect peripheral and central changes related to DPN.
