We studied the properties of whole medial gastrocnemius (MG) and soleus muscles, and of 74 individual MG motor units in three cats with long-term complete low thoracic spinal transection (TS). All animals remained paraplegic and there was considerable atrophy of MG and soleus muscles. Motor units in
The mechanical properties of 126 motor units from medial gastrocnemius muscle have been studied in 12 adult cats. Units with long contraction times (greater than 45 msec) were non fatigable (24 out of 26 units) and small (25 out of 26 units with less than or equal to 0.3% of the parent whole muscle
