Abstract:
:A fast (0.1 mm steps within 2 ms), strong (40 N continuously) and accurate (resolution 0.002 N and 1.0 micron) muscle ergometer was developed to test dynamic and static properties of mammalian muscle. Both for twitches and for tetani isometric, isokinetic and isotonic contractions can be measured accurately. Force-velocity data and time to peak-force data of four EDL muscles, as well as force-extension data of their serial tendinous structures are shown to demonstrate the machine.
