Figure 8. Distribution of unit tetanic force from reinnervated muscles reinnervated by few motoneurones.

Figure 8

Frequency histogram of tetanic force developed by each of FF, FI, FR and S units in muscles reinnervated by ≈25 % of their normal complement of motor units after complete nerve transection and repair with N-N or N-M sutures. The force of the S units increased by a greater extent than the F units. Mean values are indicated by the vertical line to show that S < FR < FI = FF in normal and in reinnervated muscles after N-N and N-M suture.
