Abstract

Mecanomyography (MMG) is a non-invasive technique that records the vibrations or sounds produced by skeletal muscle during contraction. The first observations of the existence of these vibrations/sounds occurred more than three hundred years ago, but due to technological limitations the MMG only received attention in the last few decades. The most accepted theory to the mechanism of these vibrations is that they are produced by the unfused tetanic contraction of motor units. The MMG signal provides information related both to the activation patterns and to the mechanical behavior of skeletal muscle. This technique might be used to study the mechanical properties of the muscular system, motor control, muscle fatigue amongst other applications.
