“…Electromyography (EMG), as the conventional modality to monitor skeletal muscle electrical activity, is limited in providing sufficient information on muscle mechanical behaviour [3], focusing only on the electrical aspects (neural control) of muscle function [4]. EMG signal is also not sufficiently suitable to quantify electrically evoked dynamic muscle actions [5]. The exploration of complementary paradigm that is sensitive to the muscle mechanical activities and devoid of inherent electrical noise such as MMG is, therefore, needed.…”

Purpose The review aimed to provide a wider overview on the new application fields of MMG signal. A particular emphasis on measurements reliability and sensitivity was also given. Methods Five electronic databases were searched for eligible studies published between 2000 and 2014. Two authors assessed selected articles. Several domains (sensor types, participants' characteristics, experimental protocols, investigated muscle/s, measured parameters, and main results) were extracted for analysis. From a total of 1326 citations, 170 were selected for evaluation and 111 studies were identified. Results From the analysis of the literature it resulted that MMG signal (a) has a high level of reliability, especially for the parameters calculated during isometric contractions; (b) can be used to examine muscle mechanical activation and motor unit recruitment strategies under several types of exercise paradigms; (c) is influenced by the mechanical characteristics of cross-bridges and series elastic components, and may provide deeper insights into their behaviour under several physiological models; (d) could be a useful biomarker for triggering orthosis or multifunction access devices, and for the evaluation of patients presenting alterations in muscle function. Conclusions The MMG approach has been proficiently applied in several fields ascribable to both exercise physiology and clinical settings. This approach can provide deeper insights into muscle mechanical behaviour under several physiological models and for the evaluation of patients with altered muscle function.

“…Histological electrical therapies such as pain management, improving neuromuscular functioning, and allowing joint motility and tissue repair are now clinically available [13e17]. Direct current is also used clinically for electrical stimulation [18,19]. However, the effective mechanisms governing those therapies have yet to be clarified [20e22].…”

“…Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a term which refers to the restoration of motion with the aid of passing electrical signals at appropriate muscles. Loss of the ability for movement usually occurs due to development of disorder in the nervous system usually as a result of accident, disease or damages [1,2].…”
