Meaning of "galvanotonus" in English

Galvanotonus is a medical term used to describe a type of muscle contraction that results from the application of a constant electric current to a nerve or muscle. This phenomenon occurs when electrical stimulation causes muscles to become tense or rigid, without relaxation, due to its continuous nature. Typically observed in controlled laboratory settings, galvanotonus is part of physiological studies concerning neuromuscular responses to electrical stimuli. It is especially relevant in the study of electrophysiological therapies and diagnostic procedures.

Meaning of "galvanotonus" in French

In French, "galvanotonus" refers to the same medical phenomenon as in English, depicting the sustained contraction of a muscle or group of muscles due to continuous electric current stimulation. This term is used in neurological and physiological studies to examine the effects of electrical currents on muscle tone and nerve function. Primarily, it's encountered in scientific research environments and in discussions related to electrophysiological treatments and techniques employed in medical diagnostics.
