Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) attempts to directly assess the number of functioning motor units present in a muscle. It is an important addition to the electrodiagnostic evaluation; however, both intrasubject and intersubject reliability must be minimized for this technique to be clinically us

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
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
## Abstract The statistical method of motor unit number estimation (MUNE) uses the natural stochastic variation in a muscle's compound response to electrical stimulation to obtain an estimate of the number of recruitable motor units. The current method assumes that this variation follows a Poisson
