The two main processes involved in muscle contraction are cross-bridge cycling and the length-tension relationship‚ which normally function to maximize contraction in the muscle. Beginning with the activation of a motor unit‚ the ions flow from the motor unit towards the muscle fibers that it innervates by the motor neuron in the same way as a normal muscle would. However since the tissue is damaged‚ the force that is generated by these muscle fibers will not be as great‚ leaving the fibers less
