The finding of conduction block (CB) within short consecutive segments along a motor nerve is a key feature of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). Despite their different pathogenesis, this may be the only clinical difference between some cases of MMN and the pure spinal muscular atrophy form of moto
Central motor conduction time, a useful measure for studying central motor pathways, is calculated by determining the difference between the latency of motor-evoked potentials and peripheral conduction time. The intraindividual trial-to-trial variability of central motor conduction time and the disc
## Abstract Using electromagnetic stimulation of motor cortex and cervical or lumbar roots, central conduction times to the thenar and abductor hallucis muscles bilaterally were determined in a population of 32 patients with definite Huntington's disease (HD) and 14 subjects at risk. The HD patient
We quantitatively investigated the extent of damage to motor neurons in tetraplegic subjects. Numbers of motor units in the patients were significantly lower for thenar, wrist extensor, and biceps brachii as compared to controls. Reduction in counts occurred even when M-response amplitudes were norm
