Electrically elicited quadriceps muscle torque: Comparison at three knee angles.

: The effect of knee angle on electrically elicited quadriceps muscle torque has not been established. The goal of this study was to determine which knee angle allowed for the production of the greatest knee extensor maximal voluntary isometric torque (KEMVIT), the greatest electrically elicited torque, and the highest percent of KEMVIT from the knee extensor muscles. : Eighteen participants were secured in a force dynamometer with the knee positioned at 30°, 60°, and 90° flexion.
