The contractile characteristics of individual mammalian tongue muscles have rarely been investigated, in contrast to spinal cordinnervated and extraocular muscles. Therefore, whole muscle and motor unit contractile forces, plus muscle fiber types, were studied in the genioglossus, the major protruso

Changes with age in the voluntary static and dynamic strength of the quadriceps muscle group have been well characterized, and the importance of the muscle group for locomotion and independent living have been highlighted in both normal human aging and in clinical studies. Surprisingly few studies o
Contractile measures on 67 single muscle units in the cat lateral rectus muscle were made in response to motoneuron stimulation. Simultaneous activation of four to five additional units, using muscle nerve stimulation, allowed an examination of unit force summation. Linear force addition was found i
