Electrophysiological cross section of the motor unit

Electrophysiological cross section of the motor unit

E Stålberg et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1980 Jun.

Abstract

A new technique to investigate the motor unit organisation in man is described. By moving an EMG electrode through the motor unit a continuous scan or "electrophysiological cross section" is obtained. Computer processing methods are used for analysis and display. Examples are shown from healthy subjects and from patients with neuromuscular diseases.
