“…VRF with Doublet Stimulation. The estimated values for average muscle fiber CV from the CMAP accorded with previous reports, 21,22 although the CV of CMAP is the average of all activated fibers and might be biased by the contribution of fibers lying close to the surface recording electrode. For subjects showing subnormal CV the baseline value was reached at an ISI in the range of 4 -6 ms.…”

Normative values of muscle fiber conduction velocity depend on the conditions in which conduction velocity is measured due to the velocity recovery function (VRF) of muscle fibers. In this study the VRF of the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) was assessed following doublet and triplet stimulation in order to investigate the effect of repetitive muscle activation on muscle fiber conduction velocity. The VRF from doublet and triplet activation showed a peak of 4.6%-15.0% and 6.4%-25.9%, respectively, which is not significantly different. The VRF of the CMAP with doublet stimulation had a plateau between 25-75 ms, similar to that reported for single muscle fibers, and changed as a consequence of previous activation. The VRFs with doublet and triplet stimulation were different for interstimulus intervals in the range of 12-250 ms, where the triplet resulted in a plateau of supernormal conduction velocity. The VRF of the triplet could be explained by linear summation of the effects from doublet stimulations only for small distances between the two conditioning stimuli. These results provide new information on the adaptation of membrane properties of muscle fibers to repetitive activation. Changes in CMAP properties due to repeated activation may influence the accuracy of techniques based on CMAP recordings, such as collision methods.

In this study we investigate the range of interstimulus intervals influencing the recovery functions for conduction velocity (velocity recovery function, or VRF) and twitch torque (twitch torque recovery function, or TRF) of muscle fibers. We studied the tibialis anterior muscle of 8 healthy men by varying the time interval between a pair of stimuli in the range of 4-1000 ms, with (triplet) and without (doublet) a preconditioning stimulus. For triplet stimulations, the interval between the first and second stimulus or between the second and third stimulus was fixed, and the other interval was varied. VRF and TRF were influenced by a preconditioning stimulus only when it was delivered within 125 ms and 30 ms, respectively, before the doublet stimulation. The results provide evidence of the range of preconditioning intervals influencing the VRF and TRF; this is relevant for understanding the mechanisms of force generation and for standardizing compound action potential measurements.
