The time series of the H-wave amplitude in soleus muscle (SOL) shows fractal (long-range) correlation, which is attributed to input from supraspinal centers. However, whether such long-range power-law correlated input also contributes to the synergistic muscles remains unclear. The purpose of this study was therefore to examine the correlation in the fractal components of H-wave amplitude fluctuations between the synergistic muscles used for plantar flexion, ie, the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle (MG) and SOL. In eight young male participants, consecutive H-reflexes were recorded almost simultaneously from the MG and SOL at a stimulation frequency of 0.5 Hz for 30 min. We performed detrending moving-average cross-correlation analysis (DMCA) for each of the H-and M-wave amplitude time series between MG and SOL to assess the existence of a common noise input contributing to these long-range correlations. The cross-correlation coefficient ρ D M C A (-1 to 1) was calculated to quantify the strength of the correlation between two different time series. The results indicated a significant long-range power-law correlation between H-wave amplitudes in MG and SOL (ρ D M C A: 0.50 (0.22) and 0.22 (0.17), mean (standard deviation) for the original and randomly shuffled surrogate data, respectively, P< 0.05). This was not the case for M-wave amplitudes (ρ D M C A: 0.29 (0.23) and 0.20 (0.15), P> 0.05). We conclude that there is a common noise input governing these synergistic muscles, possibly due to supraspinal origin, causing long-range power-law correlations in monosynaptic reflexes.
