Abstract_ Background Surface electromyography EMG parameters such as root-mean-square value RMS are commonly used to assess the muscle activation level that is imposed by the central nervous system CNS . However RMS is influenced not only by motor control aspects but also by peripheral properties of the muscle and recording setup. To assess motor control separately the number of motor unit action potentials MUAPs per second or MUAP Rate MR is a potentially useful measure. MR is the sum of the firing rates of the contributing MUs and as such reflects the two parameters that the CNS uses for motor control number of MUs and firing rate. MR can be estimated from multi-channel surface EMG recordings. The objective of this study was to explore the behaviour of estimated MR eMR in relation to number of active MUs and .
