How can you use “posttetanic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
It is important to point out that our posttetanic twitch contractions were obtained at a variety of lengths after a tetanic contraction at optimal length.
Considering these studies of length-dependence of potentiation, it would appear that the impact of muscle length on the force potentiation of a twitch is different between staircase and posttetanic potentiation.
The results indicate that there is a length-dependence of force modulation in the twitch contraction for both staircase and posttetanic response, and that in both cases the twitch potentiation is proportional to sarcomere length with a negative slope.
At longer sarcomere lengths, posttetanic depression was apparent, as the posttetanic twitch was smaller than the pretetanic twitch (P t */P t < 1) (Figure 4A).
In studying posttetanic potentiation, the length tension relation for twitch contractions was obtained with sequential contractions at different lengths, both prior to and after a tetanic contraction at optimal length.
