Limitations of the spike-triggered averaging for estimating motor unit twitch force: a theoretical analysis.

Contractile properties of human motor units provide information on the force capacity and fatigability of muscles. The spike-triggered averaging technique (STA) is a conventional method used to estimate the twitch waveform of single motor units in vivo by averaging the joint force signal. Several li...
