Griffin Laboratory |
Neuromuscular Control
|
 |
Dr. Griffin, Assistant Professor, investigates how the central nervous system controls muscle force during
adulthood and aging and how motor control changes during perturbations such as muscle fatigue and strength
and endurance training. Dr. Griffin measures changes in the excitability of the spinal cord using electrical
stimulation and single motor unit firing patterns with subcutaneous and intramuscular electrodes in humans
