2 Fig 1 Experimental setup. (A) Electrode placement, denoting fine-wire electrodes within the muscles and the monopolar needle electrode. (B) Subject position for open chain condition. (C) Subject position for closed chain condition. Abbreviations: VLd, distal vastus lateralis placement; VLp, proximal vastus lateralis placement.

3 Fig 2 (A) Raw data from a representative subject obtained from recordings in the closed chain condition. Inset depicts the morphology of the reference MUAP recorded from the monopolar needle in the VMO. (B) Average of the rectified proximal vastus lateralis electromyographic data, triggered from the reference VMO motor unit, in the closed chain condition. (C) Example of PSD, obtained from an average of vastus lateralis electromyographic data, triggered from the VMO reference motor unit. The power in the spectrum at the frequency of firing of the VMO reference unit (indicated by the dotted line) is expressed as a percentage of the total power in the spectrum. Abbreviations: VLd, vastus lateralis, distal recording; VLp, vastus lateralis, proximal recording; VMOmn, vastus medialis obliquus, monopolar needle recording.

4 Fig 3 Percentage of trials with power in the PSD at the firing frequency of the reference motor unit that is greater than 7.5% of total power, indicating a significantly greater number of trials (*P=.01) for the closed chain condition.
