noun
- The minimum time interval required for an electric current of twice the rheobase strength to stimulate a nerve or muscle tissue.
Usage: technical; physiology; medicine
Examples
- The chronaxie of the nerve was measured to determine the optimal stimulation parameters.
- Researchers calculated the chronaxie to establish safe electrical stimulation thresholds.
- The chronaxie value helps clinicians design effective neuromuscular stimulation protocols.
- Understanding chronaxie is essential in cardiac pacing and deep brain stimulation applications.
