Tetanic contraction, often referred to simply as tetanus, is a type of muscle contraction that occurs when a muscle is stimulated by a series of rapid nerve impulses with little to no time between them. This results in a sustained contraction of the muscle, as the force generated by each individual twitch contraction overlaps and builds up, leading to a stronger and more stable overall contraction.
