Electromechanical delays during a fatiguing exercise and recovery in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 / F. Esposito, E. Cè, S. Rampichini, E. Monti, E. Limonta, B. Fossati, G. Meola. - In: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY. - ISSN 1439-6319. - 117:3(2017 Mar), pp. 551-566. [10.1007/s00421-017-3558-4]
Abstract:
The partitioning of the electromechanical delay by an electromyographic (EMG), mechanomyographic (MMG) and force combined approach can provide further insight into the electrochemical and mechanical processes involved with skeletal muscle contraction and relaxation. The aim of the study was to monitor by this combined approach the changes in delays' electrochemical and mechanical components throughout a fatiguing task and during recovery in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), who present at the skeletal muscle level fibres rearrangement, muscle weakness and myotonia, especially in the distal muscles.
