I/T CURVE: Automatic definition of the Intensity / Time curve for partially denervated muscles. Automatic calculation of rheobase (minimal electrical amplitude of infinite duration that results in the contraction of a muscle), chronaxie (minimum time over which an electric current double the strength of the rheobase needs to be applied, in order to stimulate a muscle fiber or nerve cell) and accommodation index.
