Research by Gelhsen‚ Grigsby‚ and Winant (1984) suggests that multiple sclerosis patients are able to overcome some neuromuscular deficits through physical activity. Multiple sclerosis causes neuropathological influences not only on skeletal muscle but also on physiological alteration‚ such as the impact seen on the EMG-force relations. As a result of multiple sclerosis‚

resistance in complex electrical circuits. Kirchhoff’s Current Law The current arriving at any junction point in a circuit is equal to the current leaving that junction. Stated another way: No matter how many paths into and out of a single point‚ all the current leaving that point must equal the current arriving at that point. This law is sometimes called the junction rule. Junction Law‚ ∑junction I=0 ------------ (1) Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law The algebraic sum of the voltages around any
