Table 1:
Force-frequency values for 10 different stimulus durations calculated as a percentage of the contraction force elicited from 150 Hz stimulation. Thresholds indicate the stimulation frequency needed to elicit a visible and quantifiable contraction trace. Maximum or saturation force value indicates the frequency required to elicit a contraction that is equal in magnitude or exceeds the contraction force value obtained using 150 Hz stimulation. The EC50 denotes the stimulation frequency required to generate a contraction that is 50% of maximal force value obtained using 150 Hz, calculated from the force-frequency plots using GraphPad Prism.
