Electromyography (EMG) assesses the anatomic motor unit (A‐MU), but knowledge of its
anatomy, physiology, and changes with pathology is limited. The electrophysiological motor …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate motor unit (MU) recruitment and firing
rate, and the MU action potential (MUAP) characteristics of the human supraspinatus muscle …

In the present study we compared motor unit (MU) activity in a painful extensor carpi ulnaris
(ECU) muscle to that of a pain-free control. According to the pain adaptation model the …

Motor unit (MU) activity pattern was examined in the right-hand extensor digitorum
communis muscle (EDC) during standardised finger movements simulating actual computer …

The macro electromyography method was developed in the 1980s. 1 Since then, technical
modifications have been made, and a number of conditions have been explored. 2, 3 This …

Objectives: The relation between motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) recorded via a macro
needle electrode (MA-MUAP, MA-EMG) and MUAPs recorded via a concentric needle …

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disorder of the motor system. About
10% of cases are familial and 20% of these families have point mutations in the Cu/Zn …

Objective: We assessed changes in Motor Units (MU) and extent of MU loss using macro-
electromyography (macro-EMG) and Motor Unit Number Estimation (MUNE). Methods: We …

Due to inter-operator variability, two operators were used to assess the consistency of motor
unit (MU) identification during ramp contractions, by the comparison of semi-automatic …

Objective To establish the usefulness of the single use and affordable standard concentric
EMG electrode as a substitute for the expensive standard macro electrode. Methods Macro …
