I am looking to measure MVIC of quadriceps and want to account for volitional activiation versus true capacity. Two methods I've seen are twitch interpolation method which I don't have the equipment for and tHe other method is superimposed burst technique. The stimulator used is (S88 dual channel grass with SIU8T transformer stimulus isolation unit). It delivers one 100 millisecond train of 10 square wave pulses at 125V with an interpulse duration of 600 microseconds and a carrier frequency of 100 pulses per second. I don't have this stimulator either so what I am looking to find out is if there are traditional estim units in the clinic that can be used to provide these same stimulation parameters to measure neuromuscular induced MVIC. THanks so much for any info or guidance to info!
