Human Skeletal Muscle Function: Description of Tests and Normal Values
Abstract
1. The force produced by isometric contractions of the quadriceps muscle have been studied during maximal voluntary contractions and when a substantial part of the muscle was electrically stimulated via surface electrodes. 2. In normal children and adults, the force of a maximal voluntary contraction of the quadriceps was proportional to body weight. 3. The function of the quadriceps has been described in terms of the force/frequency curve, speed of relaxation and the rate of loss of force during 18 s stimulation at 30 Hz and 100 Hz. 4. The functional characteristics of adductor pollicis when stimulated via the ulnar nerve were essentially similar to those of the quadriceps. 5. Studies of the function of these two muscles are complementary since quadriceps femoris is amenable to needle biopsy investigations of its structure and chemistry whereas adductor pollicis is more suitable for electrophysiological studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
