Medical term:
chronaxia
chronaxie
[kro´nak-se]the minimum time at which an electric current must flow at a voltage twice the rheobase to cause a muscle to contract. In a strength-duration curve for muscle stimulation, it is the pulse width at a voltage twice that at the rheobase.

chronaxie
The minimum time for which an adequate electric current must be applied to a nerve to produce a contraction of the associated muscle. An adequate current is one that is at least twice the threshold value.Collins Dictionary of Medicine © Robert M. Youngson 2004, 2005
