Time Required to Return to 95% of Baseline MF & MIF After Pulstar MAM
Time required to return to 95% of baseline mean frequency (MF) and mean instantaneous frequency (MIF) discharge for a minimum of 1s following Pulstar mechanical-assisted manipulation (MAM). Different subpopulations of spindle afferents appear to exist according to the time required to return to MF/MIF baseline. The reported values are the percentage of afferents returning to MF/MIF baseline discharge for the respective time period.
