The latency of muscle contractions. A: an overlay of muscle twitches from control (black) and SCI animals (red). The boxed area is enlarged in the inset on the right to show the difference in the onset of muscle contraction. The filled triangle marks the time of the stimulus. B: muscle contraction latency, measured from the onset of the stimulus artifact, was significantly shorter in SCI animals compared to control (*p < 0.022). C: muscle contraction latency, measured from the onset of nCAP, was also significantly shorter in SCI animals compared to controls (*p < 0.034).
