Fig. 4From: Effect of tendon vibration during wide-pulse neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on muscle force production in people with spinal cord injury (SCI)Submaximal (τtw,sub) and maximal(τtw,p) peak twitch torque recorded before (PRE) and after (POST) STIM and STIM+Vib. Submaximal (τtw,sub: 40 mA) and maximal (τtw,p) electrical stimulation peak twitch torques recorded before (PRE) and after (POST) STIM and STIM + Vib. Submaximal twitch torque (τtw,sub; top panel) declined 40.4 ± 4.7% and maximal force (τtw,p; bottom panel) declined 27.0 ± 5.0% of baseline in STIM, whilst τtw,sub declined 45.0 ± 4.2% and τtw,p declined 30.6 ± 5.0% of baseline in STIM+Vib. However, no statistically significant differences were found between the two conditionsBack to article page
