• Ultrasound Based Localization and Quantification of Skeletal Muscle Contraction 

      Heger, Max (Master thesis, 2014)
      Earlier experiments indicates that motor unit activity during isometric contractions can be imaged using a high-definition ultrasound scanner. In this study, ultrasound raw-data is analysed in MATLAB to localize and quantify ...
    • Ultrasound Strain Rate Imaging of Individual Muscle Motor Units 

      Heger, Max; Stavdahl, Øyvind; Torp, Hans (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Skeletal muscle is organized in motor units, each comprising a motor neuron and all its connected muscle fibres. The arrival of an action potential (a neural “impulse”) causes the fibers to contract, they exhibit a twitch. ...
