## Abstract The voluntary discharge properties and axonal conduction velocity of single motor units were studied in patients with neuromuscular diseases with retained differentiation of the muscle fibers into type 1 and type 2, and in patients with late‐onset hereditary distal myopathy in which mus
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was measured in the presence of the specific inhibitor of pseudocholinesterase, iso-OMPA, in plasma from patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), progressive muscular atrophy (PMA), neuromuscular disease controls, and normal controls. Both AChE and Na-K
The finding of conduction block (CB) within short consecutive segments along a motor nerve is a key feature of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). Despite their different pathogenesis, this may be the only clinical difference between some cases of MMN and the pure spinal muscular atrophy form of moto
We measured the maximal and minimal motor nerve conduction velocities of the ulnar nerve in 17 patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), 27 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and 40 age-matched control subjects. Crude values of the maximal and minimal motor nerve conduction veloci
The clinical presentation of motor neuropathy often resembles that of motor neuron disease, sometimes leading to an erroneous diagnosis. Moreover, the underlying pathological process in motor neuropathy has been rarely investigated and there are no systematic studies of the affected motor nerves. We
