Figure 2

Torque-time plot. A representative injury waveform from the 1.4 mm AT shortening group is shown wherein tetany is achieved and subsequent rotation of the foot plate (75° dorsiflexion) occurs upon a 1.0 s delay of electrical stimulation. Isometric torque, peak isokinetic torque and waveform were similar for all groups. Peak torque is reached at the end range of motion.
