When isolated muscle synchronous contraction is evoked during in vitro twitches, mechanical vibrations at the surface of the muscle reflect resonant behavior. In contrast, voluntary contraction corresponds to the asynchronous contraction of recruited motor units, therefore, this kind of excitation could lead to different muscle vibrational behavior. We have studied human biceps brachii muscle during voluntary contraction in 10 healthy subjects. Low and high levels of voluntary contraction were explored with simultaneous recording of surface vibration by two sensors located longitudinally or perpendicular to the muscle's main axis. Cross-correlation and coherence functions were computed. Coherence functions revealed a common vibration frequency band between 17 and 28Hz. Cross correlation functions revealed in-phase vibration for longitudinal sensors and opposite phase vibration for perpendicular sensors thus confirming a lateral bending movement. This behavior suggests that the acoustic myogram is the response of the muscle as a global resonant structure to the local fluctuations of pressure.
