A computer model of the motor unit number estimation procedure was developed to evaluate the sampling error associated with estimates of the number of motor units in muscles. Two different distributions were used to model the motor unit amplitude distribution and were chosen in such a manner that th

Surface EMG is hardly used to estimate motor unit (MU) characteristics, while its non-invasiveness is less stressful for patients and allows multi-electrode recordings to investigate different sites of the muscle and MU. The present study compares motor unit potentials (MUPs) obtained with surface E
Current techniques for motor unit number estimation (MUNE) rely on the amplitude of the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) evoked by supramaximal stimulation and mean amplitude of single motor unit potentials (SMUPs). The phase cancellation during summation is not considered. We developed a tec
