Obtaining force–frequency curves with a single 3‐second train of stimuli
Abstract
We devised a method to assess the force-frequency relationship (FFR) in human skeletal muscle that involved delivery of a single 2.8-s train of shocks directly to the femoral nerve. This increasing-frequency train (IFT) was based on a power function, with a range of stimulation frequencies beginning at 5 Hz and rising to 100 Hz. We compared the IFT to a standard series of constant-frequency trains (CFT) under two conditions. Force-frequency …
