Counting motor units in chronic motor neuropathies.

Experimental neurology - 1 Nov 2003

Bromberg Mark B, Swoboda Kathryn J, Lawson Victoria H

Abstract excerpt

The degree of motor unit loss can not be accurately quantified in chronic motor neuropathies with routine electrodiagnostic testing or with pathologic examination. We used motor unit number estimation (MUNE), which is a unique electrophysiologic method that can estimate the number of surviving motor units innervating a muscle, to study axonal loss in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT)...
