Single thenar motor unit F waves (FMUPs) were collected from 23 healthy volunteers (age range 21-91 years, mean 46 Β± 20 SD). In each subject, 10 distinct FMUPs were recorded, using surface stimulating and recording electrodes, and the conduction velocity (CV) of each motor unit was calculated. The d
The motor unit number estimate (MUNE), motor unit size, and conduction velocity (CV) of thenar surface-recorded motor unit action potentials (S-MUAPs) as collected by the automated F-wave technique were analyzed in 13 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (aged 29-78 years, mean: 61) and
Serial motor unit number estimates have shed important light on the extent and rates of motoneuron losses in aging and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the estimates alone provide few clues to the health and functional status of surviving motor units. A reliable means for assessing the functi
