... muscles) pressure in synergistic muscles. Therefore, the pressure at the contact area of the gastrocnemius and plantaris muscle was measured synchronously to the force of the whole calf musculature in the rabbit species Oryctolagus cuniculus . Similar results were obtained when using a conductive pressure...

... are presumably associated with changes in daily muscle function. Our aim was to examine the daily burst number, burst length distribution and duty time (fraction of the day during which a muscle was active) of the jaw muscles of juvenile male rabbits(Oryctolagus cuniculus). A radio-telemetric device...
