    Fused tetanus is when there is no relaxation of the muscle fibers between stimuli and it occurs during a high rate of stimulation. [5] A fused tetanic contraction is the strongest single-unit twitch in contraction. [6] When tetanized, the contracting tension in the muscle remains constant in a steady state. This is the maximal possible ...

  9. Tetany - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetany

    Also, tetany can be demonstrated by tapping anterior to the ear, at the emergence of the facial nerve. A resultant twitch of the nose or lips suggests low calcium levels. This is now known as the Chvostek sign. [citation needed] EMG studies reveal single or often grouped motor unit discharges at low discharge frequency during tetany episodes.
