Figure 8. Response of the parasternal intercostal and external intercostal muscles to high frequency vibration of the central tendon.

Figure 8

Traces obtained in a representative animal. The application of vibration on the central tendon (vertical dashed lines) induced an abrupt increase in diaphragmatic EMG activity but did not cause any alteration in parasternal intercostal or external intercostal inspiratory EMG activity. The frequency of vibration in this example was 70 Hz.
