Fig 1.
Typical Tensiomyography muscle contraction displacement-time curve.
Contraction time (Tc) is calculated as the time (ms) between 10% and 90% of the maximal Dm value of the displacement-time curve.
Fig 2.
Tensiomyography set-up for assessment of muscle contractile properties.
Knee flexed at 120°, relative to 180° full flexion.
Fig 3.
The reliability of stimulus amplitude needed for maximum Dm. Tensiomyography measures are ceased when Dm is achieved. Stimulations are delivered at 1-minute intervals.
Fig 4.
Effect of changing inter-stimulus interval on Dm and Tc. Abbreviation: ISI, inter-stimulus interval.
Fig 5.
The effect of changing inter-electrode distance on Dm and Tc. Abbreviation: IED, inter-electrode distance.
Fig 6.
Dm measured using Tensiomyography at four inter-electrode distances.
Mean and individual data for each of the 10 participants is presented. *Significant difference between groups, P <0.05.
Fig 7.
Dm measured using Tensiomyography at three inter-stimulus intervals.
Mean and individual data for each of the 10 participants is presented. *Significant difference between groups, P <0.05.
