Nonlinear motor unit force summation may refine models of muscle activation; leaves open translation to human neuromuscular control and clinical applications.
Motor units produce more force when interacting than alone, and during derecruitment, remaining active units produce more force than when recruited.
Clamann et al. (1988) studied this question.
Synapse has enriched 5 closely related papers on similar clinical questions. Consider them for comparative context:
