Radiol. & Electrotherapy 21 380 The rheobase is equal to the strength of current required to excite when the duration is infinite.., and we may consider it as depending upon the absolute excitability of the tissue in question. 1944 Electronic Engin. 17 27/2 In measuring chronaxie a current value is found which, when caused to flow for infinite time, will produce a minimal contraction in the muscle under observation. (For this purpose any period in excess of one second can be referred to as infinity.) This current value is called the Rheobase. 1965 S. Ochs Elem. Neurophysiol. ii. 21 A utilization or utilized time also occurs during the..shorter times of excitation found when using stimulating pulses stronger than rheobase. 1998 Neuroscience 86 301 The nerve injury led to a significant reduction of the rheobase.

Rothwell tr. J. Tinel Nerve Wounds iii. 56 A healthy muscle, with rapid chronaxie, contracts with the short wave as soon as it reaches the rheobasic threshold. 1965 S. Ochs Elem. Neurophysiol. ii. 20 When a rheobasic current is used, the nerve actually becomes excited a short time after the onset of the step pulse current. 2006 D. I. Stephanova in C. A. Murray Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis vi. 170 Nodal and internodal rheobasic currents are considerably different for the normal and ALS [= amytrophic lateral sclerosis] cases.
