## Abstract In order to evaluate the mechanisms of weakness in muscles of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), intercostal muscle biopsies were obtained from 9 normal subjects and 6 MG patients, and the compound muscle action potential (AP) and tension responses to nerve and muscle stimulation, an

To investigate the mechanical efficiency of surviving motor units of anterior tibial muscle in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we studied motor unit action potentials, muscle force, and muscle fatigability in patients with ALS and controls using 25 min of low to moderate intensity
