Popis: | Peripheral muscle weakness can be caused by both peripheral muscle and neural alterations. Although peripheral alterations cannot totally explain peripheral muscle weakness in COPD, the existence of an activation deficit remains controversial. The heterogeneity of muscle weakness (32 to 57%) is generally not controlled in studies and could explain this discrepancy. This study aimed to compare voluntary activation levels between control subjects, COPD patients with and without muscle weakness. Twenty-two patients with quadriceps weakness (COPD MW ), 18 patients with preserved quadriceps strength (COPD NoMW ) and 20 controls were recruited. Voluntary activation was measured through peripheral nerve (VA peripheral ) and transcranial magnetic (VA cortical ) stimulation. Corticospinal and spinal excitability (MEP/Mmax and Hmax/Mmax) and corticospinal inhibition (silent period duration) were assessed during maximal voluntary quadriceps contractions. COPD MW exhibited lower VA cortical and lower MEP/Mmax compared to COPD NoMW and controls (p cortical and MEP/Mmax. COPD patients with muscle weakness have reduced voluntary activation without altered spinal excitability. Corticospinal inhibition is higher in COPD regardless of muscle weakness. Therefore, reduced cortical excitability and a voluntary activation deficit from the motor cortex are the most likely cortical mechanisms implicated in COPD muscle weakness. |
