The study examines the motor unit (MU) discharge properties in first dorsal interosseous muscle of individuals who had experienced very different usage patterns of their hand muscles and explores the relationship between different muscle usage patterns and involuntary force fluctuations (tremor). It evaluates the importance of the shared branched-axon inputs to motor neurons in the production of common drive and investigates the relationship between different measures of MU sychronization. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Physiology, 1997?
