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 reliability of motor unit number estimation (MUNE) for assessment of the long-term course of ALS is dependent on the reproducibility of the technique. We report our results with the statistical method of MUNE on the ulnar nerve/hypothenar muscle in 16 ALS patients who were studied on 52 occasion
