Motor Unit Discharge Patterns in Response to Focal Tendon Vibration of the Lower Limb in Cats and Humans

High-frequency vibration of the tendon provides potent activation of Ia afferents time-locked to the stimulation frequency and provides excitatory ionotropic activation of homonymous motor pools. In cats, the evoked motor unit discharge is constrained to discharge at integer multiples of the vibrati...
