We studied fasciculation potentials in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and in other neurogenic disorders, in strength and single-fiber electromyography-matched muscles. Benign fasciculations were studied in 3 normal subjects. Fasciculations were more stable and easier to recruit voluntarily in
## Abstract __Introduction:__ The role of fasciculation potentials (FPs) in the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been underrated. The Awaji algorithm has restored the value of FPs. Our aim was to test the diagnostic yield of the Awaji algorithm, with consideration of FPs. __Meth
