Sarah M. Greising, PhD, assistant professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory (SMPRL), published an article entitled, “In Vivo Measurement of Hindlimb Dorsiflexor Isometric Torque from Pig“, in the Journal of Visual Experiments (JoVE). JoVE is the world-leading producer and provider of science videos with the mission to improve scientific research and education. Millions of scientists, educators and students at thousands of universities, colleges, hospitals and biopharmaceutical companies worldwide use JoVE for their research, teaching and learning. While the video is currently pending production later this fall, the article is now published as part of the Methods Collection: Comprehensive toolkit for skeletal muscle studies.

This work provides concise experimental details on the evaluation and interpretation of in vivo torque data obtained via electrical stimulation of the common peroneal nerve in anesthetized pigs. The collaborative work is co-authored by colleagues, Benjamin Corona, MD, PhD, of Wake Forest University, Jarrod Call, PhD, of the University of Georgia, and Matt Borkowski of Aurora Scientific.
