When is a muscle considered overactive?
Select one:
a.
When a muscle is experiencing neural inhibition and limited neuromuscular recruitment
b.
When a muscle is elongated and in a state of reduced neural activity
c.
When it is in a state of elevated neural activity (compared to its antagonist muscle), which causes the muscle to be held in a chronic state of relaxation
d.
When it is in a state of elevated neural activity (compared to its antagonist muscle), which causes the muscle to be held in a chronic state of contraction
