title: Use of EMG-Derived Slope Coefficient for Determination of Muscle Functional Capacity.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if the slope coefficient for the linear relationship between EMG voltage time integral and submaximal isometric contractions of the vastus medialis muscle could be used as a means for evaluating the muscle's functional capacity. It was concluded that the slope coefficient provided an objective numerical indicator of muscle functional capacity. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1983;4(3):158-161.
