Value of short exercise and short exercise with cooling tests in diagnosis of recessive form of myotonia congenita (Becker disease) - are sex differences important?

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: In myotonia congenita (MC), activation with exercise or cooling can induce transient changes in compound motor action potential (CMAP) parameters, thus providing a guide to genetic analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed the short exercise test (SET) and the short exercise test with cooling (SETC) in 30 patients with genetically confirmed Becker disease (BMC) to estimate their utility in the...
