In some patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the thenar hand is more severely affected than the hypothenar hand. To quantify the dissociated involvement, we examined the motor unit number estimate (MUNE) of both the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) and abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle

The sequence of pathophysiological changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the single motor unit (MU) level is not well understood. Using a recently described technique, a comprehensive range of physiological properties in two thenar MUs in ALS were intensively studied. In the first MU, de
