Protocols for routine testing, including isometric and eccentric contractions, will be shown. ...
Isometric force provides assessment of strength, and eccentric contractions help to evaluate sarcolemma stability, which is disrupted in many types of muscular dystrophies. ...
Eccentric contraction provides an index of contractile fragility, and it is important to use a protocol that results in modest loss of force in muscles from wildtype animals and a significant loss of force ...
