Single fiber EMG recordings from patients with myasthenia gravis obtained during axonal microstimulation revealed an occasional bimodal distribution of response latencies. This phenomenon could be dependent on stimulus strength, however, in a way different from that in the axon reflex. It is suggest
## Abstract Repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) is a standard diagnostic procedure in myasthenia gravis (MG). Although RNS sensitivity is highest in weak muscles, RNS is easier to perform in distal muscles that are often not affected. Twentyβfive patients with MG were assessed to compare the sensiti
