Implication

Short-duration impulse propagation method may detect cross-bridge compliance shifts; leaves open translation to cardiac muscle or clinical use.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Frog sartorius muscles and fiber bundles from the semitendinosus muscle
I
Intervention
Measurement of mechanical impulse propagation in fully activated fibers
C
Comparator
Resting fibers
O
Outcome
Transmission velocity and time of mechanical impulsessurrogate

The method of measuring mechanical impulse propagation time has a short measurement time of about 15 micros, making it potentially useful for detecting changes in cross-bridge compliance.
