Table 3 Muscles main optimal features
Muscle | Thresholds | MRC | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
Left TA | 1 mA | 5 (@2 mA) | Dorsiflexion alone |
Right TA | 450 μA | 5 (@2 mA) | Eversion then dorsiflexion |
Left QU | 450 μA | 4+ (22 N.m) (@3.15 mA, 601.6 μs) | High fatigue, incomplete knee locking, triple reflex may occur |
Right QU | 1.1 mA | 3- (14.5 N.m) (@3.15 mA, 601.6 μs) | Fatigue resistant |
Left HA | 7 mA | 1 (@12 mA) | Triple reflex appears above 12 mA |
Right HA | NA | Not responding to stimulation but diffusion occurs | |
Left GMe | 2 mA | Intermittent contraction due to contact problem | |
Right GMe | 8.5 mA | 19 mA (saturation) | Nice progressive and selective contraction |
Left GMa | 11 mA | 25.5 mA | Low contraction located on the top of the muscle |
Right GMa | 1.5 mA | 10 mA (saturation) | Nice progressive and selective contraction |
Left IL | 10 mA | 18 mA (optimum) | For higher intensities diffusion to abdominal muscles |
Right IL | 7.5 mA | 20 mA (optimum) | Below some diffusion occurs to abdominal muscles and above to QU |
