In vivo Measurement of Knee Extensor Muscle Function in Mice
SUMMARY
Quantification of knee extensor maximal strength is imperative to understand functional adaptations to aging, disease, injury, and rehabilitation. We present a novel method to repeatedly measure in vivo knee extension isometric peak tetanic torque.
