The purpose of this technical note is to describe an experimental approach that allows the study of mechanical properties of muscles in vivo during normal, unrestrained movements in an animal preparation, and that further allows the investigation of sensorimotor control of joint movements. The preparation contains direct muscle force and EMG measurements of the target muscles (as described previously), and a chronically implanted nerve cuff electrode that may be triggered manually or automatically based on the force output of the targeted muscle. The system has been tested successfully on ankle flexor and extensor muscles of five cats.
本技术说明的目的是描述一种实验方法，该方法能够在动物实验中，在正常、无约束的运动过程中对肌肉的力学特性进行体内研究，并且还能够进一步研究关节运动的感觉运动控制。该实验装置包含对目标肌肉的直接肌肉力量和肌电图测量（如前所述），以及一个长期植入的神经袖套电极，该电极可根据目标肌肉的力量输出手动或自动触发。该系统已在五只猫的踝部屈肌和伸肌上成功进行了测试。
