Effect of number of stimuli and timing of twitch application on variability in interpolated twitch torque

open access: yesJournal of Applied Physiology, 2001
Application of a supramaximal electrical twitch to the voluntarily contracted muscle is used to assess the level of muscle activation. Large variability in the interpolated twitch torque (ITT) has been observed when repeated stimulations are performed ...

Twitching

2022
This chapter recounts the author's experience while twitching a Fork-tailed Flycatcher in the Cove Island Wildlife Sanctuary in Connecticut. Birders use the term “twitching” for birding trips focused on seeing a single bird, a rare bird. The Fork-tailed Flycatcher is a bird that belongs in Central or South America.

Sleep: Twitch in tempo

Current Biology, 2021
Sudden bursts of jerky movements during sleep, called twitches, aid early developmental brain wiring in mice. Translating these findings to humans, a new study reveals that quiet sleep twitches increase in early infancy and coordinate with sleep spindles to establish functional connectivity.

Activation of fast‐twitch fibers assessed with twitch potentiation

Muscle & Nerve, 2012
AbstractIntroduction: The augmentation of twitch response following brief muscle activation, called twitch potentiation, has been shown to be much more pronounced in fast‐twitch than in slow‐twitch fibers. We thus explored the possibility of twitch potentiation as a noninvasive measure of fast‐twitch fiber activation, by studying its dependence on the ...

The Interosseous Twitch

American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2002
We present an 18-yr-old softball player who underwent surgery for a glenoid labrum tear and subsequent placement of a pain catheter pump. One month after withdrawing the catheter, the patient developed uncontrollable movements of her fourth digit. Neurology did not think it was a true dystonia but administered multiple medications without any relief of

Toe Twitch or not Toe Twitch: A Frog Pursuit Model

Journal of Herpetology
Certain anuran species display distinctive foraging behaviors, including a phenomenon known as toe twitching—rhythmic movement of the longest toe on the hind legs to induce movement in prey. In this study, we developed and analyzed a novel agent-based model for a system of frogs (Kaloula pulchra) and roaches (Blaptica dubia), which quantifies the role ...
