Abstract
Like the central pattern generator for locomotion, the CPG for incising controls rhythmicity, peak amplitude and force load duration/rate. However, unlike the CPG for locomotion, the amplitude of incising force decreases as the frequency increases. During incising, load rate increases with faster rhythm and is consistent with the recruitment of larger motor units. Muscle pain reduced the excitatory drive of the CPG on motoneurons and provides further support of the Pain Adaptation Model.
