Sarcomere Stiffness during Stretching and Shortening of Rigor Skeletal Myofibrils

In this study, we measured the stiffness of skeletal muscle myofibrils in rigor. Using a custom-built atomic force microscope, myofibrils were first placed in a rigor state then stretched and shortened at different displacements (0.1–0.3 μm per sarcomere) and nominal speeds (0.4 and 0.8 μm/s). Durin...
