Table 3. Muscle twitch characteristics at 4 and 8 weeks.
Week | Sham | Px | |
Absolute twitch tension (N) | 4 | 6.12±0.62 | 5.64±0.93 |
8 | 6.68±0.99 | 5.23±0.98 | |
Time to peak tension (ms) | 4 | 30.3±3.55 | 31.3±2.49 |
8 | 36.8±2.78 | 29.5±0.97 * | |
Half- relaxation time (ms) | 4 | 32.1±6.93 | 35.2±5.84 |
8 | 40.3±7.69 | 24.0±1.74 * |
Note:
*indicates that Px is significantly less than Sham for the same time point at p<0.05.
