Human Skeletal Muscle Function: Description of Tests and Normal Values

摘要: 1. The force produced by isometric contractions of the quadriceps muscle have been studied during maximal voluntary and when a substantial part was electrically stimulated via surface electrodes. 2. In normal children adults, contraction proportional to body weight. 3. function has described in terms force/frequency curve, speed relaxation rate loss 18 s stimulation at 30 Hz 100 Hz. 4. functional characteristics adductor pollicis ulnar nerve were essentially similar those quadriceps. 5. Studies these two muscles are complementary since femoris is amenable needle biopsy investigations its structure chemistry whereas more suitable for electrophysiological studies.
