With what degree of precision can voluntary static muscle force be repeated?
The aim of this investigation was to get an apprehension of the capacity of repeating voluntarily exerted static forces in a row without visual feed-back in three situations viz. two-hand-lift, foot pedal press and thigh-raise. Seven subjects participated. It seems that the degree of precision is approximately a little below 10%.
