Acoustic myography: A noninvasive monitor of motor unit fatigue
Open accessAbstract
Acoustic myography is the recording of sounds produced by contracting muscle. These sounds become louder with increasing force of contraction. We have compared muscle sounds with surface EMG to monitor the dissociation of electrical from mechanical events (presumably, the loss of excitation–contraction coupling) which occur with motor unit fatigue. Acoustic signals were amplified using a standard phonocardiograph, recorded on FM magnetic tape, and digitally analyzed. Muscles were examined at rest, with intermittent contractions, and with sustained contractions. We found that with fatigue, the acoustic amplitude decayed, but the surface EMG amplitude did not. With decreased effort, however, the acoustic and the surface EMG amplitudes declined simultaneously. By simultaneously recording acoustic signals and needle EMG, individual motor units were resolved acoustically in two muscles with decreased numbers of motor units and increased motor unit size. Fasciculations also produced acoustic signals, although no acoustic signal has yet been found that correlates with fibrillations. Analysis of acoustic signals from muscle provides a noninvasive method for monitoring motor unit fatigue in vivo. It may also be useful in distinguishing muscle fatigue from decreased volition.

Acoustic signals increase in parallel with surface EMG signals during voluntary and evoked contraction, but acoustic amplitude decays with fatigue whereas EMG amplitude does not.
“Acoustic signals increase in parallel with surface EMG signals during voluntary and evoked contraction, but acoustic amplitude decays with fatigue whereas EMG amplitude does not”
From A critical review of interfaces with the peripheral nervous system for the control of neuroprostheses and hybrid bionic systems (2005) · cites this paper as Barry et al., 1985
The Abstract reports that acoustic amplitude decayed with fatigue while surface EMG amplitude did not, and the Figure 5 discussion describes both signals increasing together when voluntary effort increased. The copy does not establish that they increase in parallel during evoked contractions; the Discussion describes external nerve stimulation as a proposed future test. It also notes that surface EMG began to decay below 45% of maximal voluntary contraction, so the claim that EMG amplitude does not decay needs qualification. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
