Experiment: Stimulation of Antagonistic Muscles

While walking or running, the muscles of the lower leg work in a coordinated manner to position the foot at the proper angle during each segment of a person’s stride. As the leg is moved forward after a step has been taken, the foot moves upward in a dorsiflexion caused by the contraction of the tibialis anterior muscle on the front of the lower leg. Dorsiflexion provides the foot greater clearance from the ground as the foot is moved forward. When the foot is planted and the person’s body is being propelled forward, the foot moves downward in a plantar flexion caused by the contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle on the back of the lower leg. Plantar flexion helps push the body forward as the leg is moved backward.

In this experiment, dorsiflexion and plantar flexion will be triggered by stimulation of the muscles involved in each flexion. When stimulated, each muscle generates a compound muscle action potential, known as a M-wave, which will be recorded like an electromyogram (EMG). Each M-wave generates a muscle contraction, which causes a flexion. The range of motion of each flexion will be measured with a single-axis goniometer. The frequency of stimulation of the muscles will also be increased to demonstrate the effect of mechanical summation on the overall range of motion of the foot.

Tech Note: SI-200 Isolated Stimulator

The SI-200 is a high voltage, isolated stimulator designed to deliver safe, transcutaneous stimulus pulses to a nerve or a muscle being studied. The design of the SI-200 permits the desired current of the stimulus pulse to be generated despite the impedance on the path that the current follows. The SI-200 adjusts the voltage needed to maintain that current automatically by increasing the voltage that drives the current up to a maximum of 150 volts. Because of this capability, the SI-200 is categorized as a constant current stimulator. However, the current output of the SI-200 is limited to a maximum of 20 milliamperes, with a maximum duration of 10 milliseconds and a maximum frequency of 50Hz.

Download the Updated Settings File for this Month's Experiment with LabScribe2^TM Software

If iWorx users plan to use the Flexibility and Range of Motion experiment in their course, they can obtain a copy of the settings file used to configure the LabScribe2 recording software to do this experiment by clicking here (zip file).

To learn how to create your own groups of settings files for use with LabScribe2, click here. The new Settings Manager in LabScribe2 permits numerous pieces of support material to be linked to a settings file and opened automatically when the settings file is selected from the Settings menu. In LabScribe2, animations, illustrations, movies, websites, experimental write-ups, and more can be opened automatically when a settings file is opened.

On this page we have also accumulated a host of links to informative, external physiology Web sites and conveniently categorized them into major subcategories for easy reference.

Introducing iWorx LabsByDesign^TM: Design the Physiology Labs that Best Suit Your Needs.

iWorx new LabsByDesign is the easiest and most cost effective way for you to design the physiology teaching labs that perfectly fit your needs. It's a unique alternative to the one size fits all, canned approach to standard lab systems that force you to purchase equipment you don't need and will never use.

Use the Web-based LabsByDesign configurator and choose the labs you want to teach. The configurator will then tailor the necessary components from our complete line of data recording modules, sensors, electrodes, stimulators and other accessories along with the courseware necessary to support the experiments you select.

Start here to design your own lab today.
