title: EMG activity in "compensatory" muscle hypertrophy.
abstract: The functional elimination of synergistic muscles leads to dramatic muscle hypertrophy. However, neither resting EMG activity recorded by an implanted electrode array, nor activity during locomotion have substantiated the assumption that the hypertrophy in the rat soleus muscle is caused by hyperactivity.
