Figure Lengend Snippet: Twitch force was measured using an isometric force transducer attached two one of four AHM corners, while keeping the other three fixed (Left). Twitch force plots exported from PowerLab system as a reprensentation of the typical responses from control and electrically stimulated AHM (Right). Control AHM typically have a more delayed response to the 1Hz electrical stimulation applied during electrical response tests. Latency is calculated as the time between the electrical stimulation pulse and the next corresponding twitch force peak on a superimposed plot.
Article Snippet: These measurements were performed with a high sensitivity isometric force transducer (MLT0202, ADinstruments, Colorado Springs, CO) connected to a quad bridge amplifier (FE224, ADinstrument).
Techniques: Control
