## Abstract Limitations associated with global measures of function in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the qualitative nature of needle electromyography have stimulated the development of alternate means of monitoring disease severity and progression in ALS. Thus, the objectiv
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
