Stretch-induced spinal accessory nerve palsy.

abstract：:This study compared the force output produced by variable frequency, short-duration trains (VFTs) of electrical pulses with the forces produced by constant frequency, short-duration trains (CFTs). Human quadriceps femoris muscle was stimulated with a 300-msec train of pulses once every second for 180 seconds. Each sub...
