Binder‐Macleod et al. Sports Health. duration). Thus the pulse duration needs to be higher. If the pulse is not a perfect square wave, the time is typically measured between the 50% power levels of the rising and falling edges of the pulse. This variable characteristic can be either frequency, position or width. The Physiological Society | Hodgkin Huxley House | 30 Farringdon Lane | London EC1R 3AW, UK. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. 1996), walk (Agarwal et al. 1999; Weber et al. In pulse duration modulation (PDM), the amplitude of the pulse is kept constant and only the variation in width is noticed. During the maximal voluntary contraction, an electrical stimulation train (amplitude, 130 V; frequency, 100 Hz; pulse duration, 600 μs) was delivered to the quadriceps femoris muscle. Analysis of functional electrical stimulation parameters by muscular contraction time and knee joint angular variation. There were significant differences in percentage decline in peak force (F= 30.08; P < 0.01) between the first and last fatiguing trains among the three protocols (Fig. 2017 Jun 21;12(6):e0179925. 2). As a standardization procedure, the averaged stimulation intensity, the averaged total charge, the initial peak torque, the duty cycle, the contraction duration and the torque-time integral were similar in both protocols. National Center for Biotechnology Information, Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. The present findings could have implications for the development of strategies for optimal activation of skeletal muscle during FES. The average peak forces in response to the first fatiguing trains were 21.2 ± 1.7, 21.5 ± 2.2 and 22.3 ± 2.2% MVIC for protocols 1, 2 and 3, respectively. 1988; Sahlin et al. Future studies will need to identify the best frequency and intensity of the initial trains, as well as the strategies for modulation of frequency and intensity of the subsequent trains, to maximize muscle performance during FES. For example by increasing the pulse width while decreasing the amplitude. Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation. As a standardization procedure, the averaged stimulation intensity, the averaged total charge, the initial peak torque, the duty cycle, the contraction duration and the torque-time integral were similar in both protocols. The higher forces generated at supra‐ versus submaximal intensities probably contributed to the greater muscle fatigue observed by Godfrey et al. In addition, the frequency and pulse duration used during protocol 2 were similar to the parameters commonly used in clinical FES systems (Taylor et al. For FES applications, however, because the targeted force is determined by the task requirements, it may not be important to isolate the effects of frequency versus intensity on muscle fatigue and performance, but to determine the combination of frequency and intensity that can generate the targeted muscle force while simultaneously minimizing muscle fatigue. 2015 Mar 15;8(3):4381-6. eCollection 2015. Delayed fatigue in finger flexion forces through transcutaneous nerve stimulation. Number of times cited according to CrossRef: Advances in neuroprosthetic management of foot drop: a review. Since protocol 1 recruited the most motor units, and all three protocols generated the same target peak force, the least amount of force was generated by each active muscle fibre during protocol 1. doi: 10.1016/j.nmd.2012.10.007. * Significant differences between fatigue protocols (P < 0.05). Specifically, the present results should help in the design of future studies involving patient populations where complex stimulation strategies that modulate both the frequency and pulse durations will be tested. 1995; Russ et al. The subjects were requested to refrain from strenuous exercise for at least 48 h before the testing sessions. The term is used within a number of technical disciplines, notably radar. The authors would like to thank R. Perumal and R. Maladen for their helpful comments on an early draft of this manuscript and for the development of the software and hardware for data acquisition. (2002) found greater fatigue during stimulation at supra‐ compared to submaximal intensities. This refers to the temporal length of laser pulse; that is, the time during which the laser actually emits energy. 5). The present findings support the hypothesis that when the same initial peak force is generated using different combinations of frequency and pulse duration, and when the frequency and pulse duration are kept constant throughout repetitive stimulation, repetitive stimulation with a long pulse duration (600 μs) and low frequency (11.5 ± 1.2 Hz; protocol 1) would maximize isometric performance by minimizing muscle fatigue. 1998; Hogan et al. Set frequency and pulse duration to generate 20% MVIC target peak force Either the stimulation pulse duration or frequency of a 300 ms long train was varied to generate peak force equal to 20% of the subject's MVIC. During the MVIC test, the subjects attempted to produce as much knee extension force as possible. (1999) showed smaller declines in force during repetitive stimulation at high‐ (100 Hz) versus low‐frequency (20 Hz) activation. The theoretically calculated pulse durations are found to be in a good agreement with the respective experimental data from frequency-resolved optical gating … 2): Set stimulation amplitude to generate 50% MVIC peak force During each testing session, after applying the electrodes, the stimulation amplitude was set to produce 50% of the subject's MVIC force using 300 ms long, 60 Hz trains with 600 μs pulse duration. The decline in force generated in response to the fatiguing trains for each protocol was used as a measure of the ‘muscle's performance’ or the muscle's ability to maintain force output in response to the fatiguing trains. During repetitive electrical stimulation, stimulation frequency and intensity are two primary parameters that can be modulated to control skeletal muscle force. Average peak forces produced in response to the 20 Hz testing trains at the 600 μs pulse duration for protocols 1, 2 and 3, respectively, were 366.2 ± 116.5, 375.7 ± 111.5 and 362.6 ± 110.1 N (prefatigue) and 221.4 ± 68.9, 253.0 ± 72.6 and 230.9 ± 70.3 N (postfatigue). For example by increasing the pulse width while decreasing the amplitude. FES-Induced Torque Prediction With Evoked EMG Sensing for Muscle Fatigue Tracking. Our study compared the performance and muscle fatigue produced during repetitive stimulation using three different combinations of frequencies and pulse durations, and found that protocol 1 produced the least muscle fatigue in the motor units recruited by the fatiguing trains (see Fig. Rapid fatigue during FES is thought to result from the differences in motor unit recruitment order, higher activation frequencies and imprecise control of muscle force during FES compared to volitional contractions (Peckham & Knutson, 2005). Comparison of electrical and magnetic stimulations to assess quadriceps muscle function. 2012 Dec;22 Suppl 3:S181-6. All fatiguing and testing trains were 300 ms long. 2018 Feb 13;18(1):17. doi: 10.1186/s12883-018-1020-9. ; Fig. 1998), these studies have often ignored the effect of either the differences in initial peak force or stimulation intensities on muscle fatigue (Binder‐Macleod et al. Bochkezanian V, Newton RU, Trajano GS, Vieira A, Pulverenti TS, Blazevich AJ. Schematic representation of the experimental set‐up used for testing F indicates the position of the force transducer. For testing trains at the pulse duration of the fatiguing trains, protocol 1 showed the largest postfatigue 20 Hz:60 Hz ratio (0.61 ± 0.07), and protocol 3 showed the smallest ratio (0.37 ± 0.11; Fig. 1997). A repeated-measures design with 4 stimuli presented in random order was used to test 25 women: (1) 500-microsecond pulse duration, (2) 250-microsecond pulse duration, (3) 500-microsecond pulse duration and low carrier frequency (1 kHz), (4) 250-microsecond pulse duration and high carrier frequency (4 kHz). Would you like email updates of new search results? In this expression, A t is the amplitude of the pulse, ω 0 determines the color of the pulse, Δt determines the minimum pulse duration and consequently the bandwidth of the pulse, and θ(t) determines the temporal relationship among the frequency components contained within the bandwidth of the pulse. Twelve healthy individuals (6 males and 6 females) aged 22–30 years participated in the study. 1997; Taylor et al. 3A), the last fatiguing train of protocol 1 produced the highest and the last fatiguing train of protocol 3 produced the lowest peak force for this subject (Fig. Eur J Appl Physiol. The 20 Hz:60 Hz peak force ratios were calculated at the beginning (prefatigue) and end (postfatigue) of the fatigue protocols both for testing trains at the pulse duration of the fatiguing trains and at the 600 μs pulse duration. Since protocol 1 used the fewest number of pulses and generated the fewest action potentials, the least ATP utilization by the Ca2+‐ATPase and Na+–K+‐ATPase reactions also occurred during protocol 1 (Marsden et al. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine. (2002) recently showed greater declines in force due to fatigue at high (supramaximal) compared to low (submaximal) stimulation intensities. 1998). Pairwise post hoc comparisons using the least squared difference (LSD) were performed only if the ANOVA showed significant differences. One transducer emits sound with a 4 MHz frequency, and the other produces sound at a 6 MHz frequency. 2005). Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Esporte. Twenty and 60 Hz pre‐ and postfatigue testing trains were delivered at the pulse duration used by the fatiguing trains and at 600 μs pulse duration. We believe that the differences in the findings of Godfrey et al. A functional electrical stimulation system for human walking inspired by reflexive control principles. A 3-factor (frequency, intensity, pulse duration) repeated-measures (time) design was used to analyze the changes in PWL. The impact of varying interphase interval on neuromuscular electrical stimulation-induced quadriceps femoris muscle performance and perceived discomfort. Pulse frequency: the number of pulses produced per second, hertz (Hz) or cycles per second (c/s). Although numerous combinations of frequency and intensity can be used to generate the required muscle force during FES, most clinical FES systems use the minimum frequency that can generate a fused tetanic contraction in the muscle being stimulated and vary the intensity to produce the desired force (Taylor et al. Average peak forces produced in response to the 20 Hz testing trains at the pulse duration of the fatiguing trains for protocols 1, 2 and 3, respectively, were 363.2 ± 117.7, 175.0 ± 55.1 and 162.6 ± 53.9 N (prefatigue) and 224.7 ± 68.4, 73.6 ± 24.7 and 41.9 ± 17.1 N (postfatigue). 1997). Lu T, Song QH, Xu RM, Guo YH, Wang F, Hu JP, Wang Y, Zhang LY. However, the differences between the results of our present study and those of Godfrey et al. Compared to our study, the fatigue protocols tested by Matsunaga et al. 2005). The optical center frequency and spectral shape can be obtained with an optical spectrum analyzer. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. 2014 19th International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR). 1999), low‐frequency fatigue may have markedly reduced the muscles' responses to the 20 Hz trains and therefore resulted in poorer performance in response to the 20 Hz trains. protocol 1). 1988). If the electrical stimulation train increased the force by ≤ 10%, the subject's MVIC was recorded. Since metabolic demand is related to muscle fatigue (Cooke et al. Interestingly, consistent with out present findings, recent studies showed that for healthy subjects and for subjects with spinal cord injury, starting at low frequencies and later switching to high frequencies produced better performance during repetitive non‐isometric contractions than stimulation using either a low or high frequency alone (Kebaetse & Binder‐Macleod, 2004; Kebaetse et al. 6B). 2002c) recently showed that increasing the frequency or number of pulses did not affect the amount of muscle fatigue produced during repetitive isometric contractions if the initial force produced by the stimulation trains was controlled. Effect of frequency and pulse duration on human muscle fatigue during repetitive electrical stimulation. For effective task performance during FES, it is necessary to maintain the level of muscle force required for generation of the FES‐elicited movement. 1998), we believe that protocol 1 produced the least fatigue in the motor unit population recruited by the fatiguing trains because the lowest ATP consumption and lowest metabolic demand was placed on each muscle fibre during protocol 1 among the three protocols tested. Interestingly, for the 60 Hz testing trains at 600 μs pulse duration, protocol 2, consisting of medium frequency and medium pulse duration fatiguing trains, produced significantly smaller declines in peak force (14.7 ± 7%) than protocol 1 (23.6 ± 8.3%) or protocol 3 (22.4 ± 10.3%; F= 6.40; P= 0.01; Fig. 2002; Wheeler et al. The results suggest that if the frequency and intensity are kept constant during FES, using the lowest frequency and longest pulse duration may maximize performance. The peak power may be directly measured with a photodiode or calculated from pulse energy, pulse duration and pulse shape. BMC Neurol. | Jubeau M, Zory R, Gondin J, Martin A, Maffiuletti NA. Pulse-duration modulation. 2002) and force generated in response to electrical stimulation (Russ et al. Hemodynamic effects of habituation to a week-long program of neuromuscular electrical stimulation. The percentage decline in peak force between the first and last fatiguing train of each protocol was the measure of muscle performance. These terms are often confused or used interchangeably, when they are actually three different ways of measuring an electrical signal. In addition, peak forces produced in response to the first fatiguing train of each protocol were compared using a repeated‐measures one‐way ANOVA to determine whether the fatigue protocols produced similar initial peak forces. 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.568-570.359. Since ATP utilization by actin–myosin ATPase is proportional to force generation (Boska, 1994; Potma et al. eCollection 2017. Interestingly, repetitive stimulation with a medium frequency (30 Hz) and medium pulse duration (150 ± 22 μs; protocol 2) produced the least muscle fatigue when comparable motor unit populations were tested across protocols (i.e. Pulse Duration (msec) = # of cycles x period (msec). Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism. 2002b). We used the percentage decline in peak force between pre‐ and postfatigue 60 Hz testing trains as a measure of the decline in the force‐generating ability (Vollestad, 1997). The ‘testing trains’, consisting of stimulation trains of 60 and 20 Hz frequency at two different pulse durations, were delivered before (prefatigue) and after (postfatigue) the fatiguing trains. The frequency used for repetitive stimulation during protocol 1 was 11.5 ± 1.2 Hz. For testing trains at the pulse duration of the fatiguing trains, the two‐way repeated measures ANOVA (protocol × fatigue) showed significant effects of protocol (F= 32.00; P < 0.01) and fatigue (F= 308.93; P < 0.01) on the 20 Hz:60 Hz peak force ratios (Fig. The decline in peak force of the 60 Hz testing trains at the same pulse duration as the fatiguing trains provided a measure of the amount of muscle fatigue produced in the population of motor units recruited by the fatiguing trains during each fatiguing protocol. This stimulation train or ‘burst’ was superimposed on the volitional contraction to ensure that the subjects were truly generating maximal force. 1994), we suggest that protocol 1 resulted in the least ATP utilization by the actin–myosin ATPase per muscle fibre. Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing. NLM The decline in peak force of the 60 Hz testing trains at the 600 μs pulse duration provided a measure of the muscle fatigue produced within a comparable number of motor units as were recruited during the protocol that used the longest pulse duration (i.e. Three different combinations of frequency and pulse duration were used during the three different fatigue protocols, as follows: Protocol 1: Long pulse duration (600 μs) and low frequency The pulse duration of a 300 ms long train was fixed at 600 μs, and the frequency was set to produce 20% MVIC peak force. The pre‐ and postfatigue 20 Hz:60 Hz peak force ratios for the three fatigue protocols were compared using two‐way (protocol × fatigue) repeated measures ANOVAs. It is thus possible to make some adjustments in these settings, while still maintaining an intensity that is roughly similar. (2002) may also result from differences in the subject populations and the muscle tested. The responses to the testing trains at 600 μs pulse duration were therefore the sum of the forces produced by the recruited and previously unrecruited motor units. The width and frequency of the output pulses follow the width and frequency of the TTL input gate. Mechanical threshold and spontaneous pain-related behaviors were compared for frequency, intensity, and pulse duration with a Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance. In addition, the frequency and pulse duration used during protocol 2 were similar to the 1979; Garland et al. HD38582. | Contact Us. * Significant difference between protocols (P < 0.01). Muscle fatigue is a decline in the force‐generating ability of the muscle as a result of recent activity (Edwards, 1981; Vollestad, 1997). A Comparison of Multipath and Conventional Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation. Variable stimulation patterns in younger and older thenar muscle. Starting repetitive stimulation with low frequencies produced less muscle fatigue, and switching to a higher stimulation frequency allowed the stimulation to overcome the effects of low‐frequency fatigue (Kebaetse & Binder‐Macleod, 2004; Kebaetse et al. Epub 2007 Aug 1. For each subject, the MVIC value measured during the first session was used to set the stimulation amplitude for all four sessions. Protocol 1, consisting of fatiguing trains with long (600 μs) pulse duration and low frequency, produced the smallest percentage decline in peak force (31.3 ± 9.4%), and protocol 3, consisting of fatiguing trains with high frequency (60 Hz) and short pulse duration, produced the largest percentage decline in peak force (51.3 ± 7.5%; Fig. Epub 2006 Jul 27. Human MSC subjected to in vitro chondrogenesis for six weeks were exposed to 2.5 nM PTHrP(1-34) pulses from days 7 to 42. We conclude that, under carefully controlled and comparable conditions, the use of low stimulation frequency and long pulse duration do not minimize the occurrence of muscle fatigue or affect the corresponding stimulation-induced metabolic changes so that this combination of stimulation parameters would not be adequate in the context of rehabilitation. Although several previous studies have shown that fatigue is a function of the stimulation frequency or the number of pulses (Bigland‐Ritchie et al. The total energy can be controlled by modulating the pulse width/duration. Protocol 3: High frequency (60 Hz) and short pulse duration The frequency of a 300 ms long train was fixed at 60 Hz, and the pulse duration was set to produce 20% MVIC peak force. Since the stimulation frequency (Bigland‐Ritchie et al. Pain relief can occur at various frequencies. Learn about our remote access options, Physical Therapy, 301 McKinly Laboratory, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, USA. Muscular fatigue induced by electrical stimulation. Since muscle performance is a function of the extent of force fatigue and low‐frequency fatigue produced by the fatiguing trains in the motor unit population recruited by the fatiguing trains, we believe that the results of Matsunaga et al. A model for transcutaneous current stimulation: simulations and experiments. The optical center frequency and spectral shape can be obtained with an optical spectrum analyzer. Neurosci Lett. (1999) were of much longer durations (60 min versus 180 s in our study), used much shorter duty cycles (1:15, 1:30 and 1:60 versus 1:2.3 in our study), and produced smaller percentage declines in peak force (22.3 ± 15.1% at 100 Hz versus 51.3 ± 7.5% at 60 Hz in our study). Protocol 1 also produced the least low‐frequency fatigue in the motor units recruited by the fatiguing trains (Fig. Now i switched over to Timer1 because of it's bigger TCNT register. duration). Flow chart showing the experimental protocol for the 4 sessions Please see text for details. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Therapy to Restore Quadriceps Muscle Function in Patients After Orthopaedic Surgery. Since Wavelength (mm) = Propagation speed in tissue … No previous study has attempted systematically to investigate the combination of stimulation frequency and intensity that can minimize fatigue while producing a targeted force level during repetitive stimulation. Functional electrical stimulation is used to generate functional movements in patients with upper motor neurone lesions, such as spinal cord injury, hemiplegia following stroke, and cerebral palsy. 1979; Marsden et al.

Pulse duration: the amount of time the current flows in one direction. 1995; Godfrey et al. Predicting non-isometric fatigue induced by electrical stimulation pulse trains as a function of pulse duration. The subjects signed informed consent forms approved by the Human Subjects Review Board of the University of Delaware. Two trials per pulse duration (n ⫽ 6); 4, low-frequency TENS (4Hz), high filament were given.24 Before injection of carrageenan, the intensity (motor), 100-µsec pulse duration (n ⫽ 8); 5, high- baseline withdrawal force was 600mN in 87% of the animals frequency TENS (100Hz), low intensity (sensory), 250-µsec and 250mN in 13% of the animals. Int J Clin Exp Med. The stimulation intensity is further increased as the muscle fatigues (Taylor et al. Industrial Robot: the international journal of robotics research and application. Velcro straps were used to stabilize the subjects' upper trunk, waist and thigh. A custom‐made switch was connected in series with the stimulator to control the pulse duration. 2002). Functional electrical stimulation (FES) uses electrical stimulation to generate functional movements in individuals with upper motor neurone paresis (Liberson et al. The percentage decline in peak forces between pre‐ and postfatigue 60 Hz testing trains at the same pulse duration as used for the fatiguing trains (left) and at 600 μs pulse duration (right) During FES, however, skeletal muscles fatigue more rapidly during repetitive stimulation than during volitional contractions (Marsolais & Edwards, 1988; Riener, 1999). Each testing session consisted of ‘fatiguing trains’ and pre‐ and postfatigue ‘testing trains’. pulse duration of several hundred nanoseconds, repetition frequencies up to several tens of kilohertz, scanning velocities usually larger than 100 mm/s and laser beam diameters in the range of micrometers, the molten material is already resolidified before a subsequent laser pulse creates another melt pool (Fig. ), and no significant interaction between the effects of protocol and fatigue (F= 2.62; n.s. Protocol 3 showed the most and protocol 1 the least muscle fatigue and low‐frequency fatigue when the pulse duration was maintained at the level used to fatigue the muscle (Fig. The study was performed according to the Declaration of Helsinki. Table 1 provides detailed information about the subjects' age, sex, MVIC forces, and the stimulation parameters of the fatiguing trains. 2003; Johnston et al. 2002b,c). 2012 IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering. The figure also shows peak forces produced in response to each fatiguing train during the 3 fatigue protocols for a representative subject (C). The r view the full answer (1995) tested the rate and amount of fatigue during repetitive stimulation of the human quadriceps muscle with trains at stimulation amplitudes that produced 20, 50 and 80% maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) forces, and found less decline in force of the fatiguing trains during repetitive stimulation at higher compared to lower stimulation amplitudes. Muscle Nerve. 2014 IEEE 10th International Colloquium on Signal Processing and its Applications. Protocol 2: Medium frequency (30 Hz) and medium pulse duration The frequency of a 300 ms long train was fixed at 30 Hz, and the pulse duration was set to produce 20% MVIC peak force. For testing trains at 600 μs pulse duration, the two‐way ANOVA showed a significant effect of fatigue (F= 66.95; P < 0.01), no significant effect of protocol (F= 0.03; n.s. : Another kind of pulse modulation is pulse-duration modulation (PDM), in which intelligence is represented by the length and order of regularly recurring pulses. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation prevents skeletal muscle dysfunction in adjuvant-induced arthritis rat. 1999; Weber et al. Then i tried using Timer0 with a prescaler of 8 to measure the frequency, but it only counts to 255. Another kind of pulse modulation is pulse-duration modulation (PDM), in which intelligence is represented by the length and order of regularly recurring pulses. 5). Electrical pulses were delivered at 100 Hz (1-ms pulse duration) and 20 Hz (5-ms pulse duration) for the high (HF) and low (LF) frequency protocols, respectively. Muscle fatigue is an important factor limiting the clinical use of FES (Riener, 1999). Is Electrical Stimulation Beneficial for Improving the Paralytic Effect of Botulinum Toxin Type A in Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy?. Whole Body Oxygen Uptake and Evoked Torque During Subtetanic Isometric Electrical Stimulation of the Quadriceps Muscles in a Single 30-Minute Session. The 20 Hz:60 Hz peak force ratio was used as a measure of low‐frequency fatigue. pulse duration is the duration for which a pulse occurs. NCI CPTC Antibody Characterization Program. Direct measurement of the pulse duration and frequency chirp of seeded XUV free electron laser pulses To cite this article: Armin Azima et al 2018 New J. Phys. Pulse duration does not change with depth, thus it cannot be changed by the sonographer. Himori K, Tatebayashi D, Kanzaki K, Wada M, Westerblad H, Lanner JT, Yamada T. PLoS One. We have investigated the effects of stimulation frequency and pulse duration on fatigue and energy metabolism in rat gastrocnemius muscle during a single bout of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). That is, even if greater muscle fatigue was produced by the 100 Hz trains than the 20 Hz trains in their study (Matsunaga et al. 2005).

Another study showed that intermittent high‐frequency stimulation produced less fatigue than low‐frequency repetitive stimulation in able‐bodied and spinal cord injured subjects (Matsunaga et al. Prefatigue testing trains Sixty and 20 Hz trains were delivered at the same pulse duration as that used for the fatiguing trains for that session and also at 600 μs pulse duration. Chronic pain can also benefit from lower settings 2 to 10Hz that stimulates an endorphin release. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering. The amplitude of the output pulse voltage for each channel is independently adjustable from 0 to 950V using screwdriver-adjustable potentiometers readily accessible on the end panel of the pulser module. 3. Investigation of Fatigue, Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness, and Spectral-Based Cepstral Measurements in Healthy Speakers after Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation. Higher-order power harmonics of pulsed electrical stimulation modulates corticospinal contribution of peripheral nerve stimulation. Postfatigue testing trains At the end of the fatiguing trains, postfatigue testing trains were delivered in the same order as the prefatigue testing trains at a rate of one train every second to maintain the state of muscle fatigue. Exp Physiol. It has been hypothesized, but not systematically tested, that the combination of the lowest frequency and highest intensity may minimize fatigue when used for repetitive stimulation (Binder‐Macleod & Snyder‐Mackler, 1993).
