title: Instrumentation for simultaneous recording of compound muscle action potentials and related force in the dog.
abstract: An examination apparatus for the study of both compound muscle action potentials and related isometric force of the target muscle after supramaximum electrical stimulation of the respective nerve is described. Force transducers were used to record forces from the forelimb paws and the jaws of the dog. The unit is suitable for the clinical examination of neuromuscular transmission disturbances and for testing the effect of relaxant agents.
