Abstract:
This article is a review of the generation of the motor unit potential and modern techniques for its quantification. General comments are made on findings in neurogenic and myopathic conditions. Detailed examples are given from two pathological conditions, ALS and polymyositis. Quantitative parameters are presented and the usefulness of outliers compared to mean values is discussed.
