Neural adaptations in isometric contractions with EMG and force biofeedback
Locks,Francisco; Santos,Heleodório Honorato dos; Carvalho,Luis Carlos; Stolt,Lígia Raquel Ortiz Gomes; Ferreira,José Jamacy de AlmeidaThis study aimed to evaluate the quadriceps femoris neural adaptations during isometric contractions using force and electromyogram (EMG) signals as visual biofeedback.
