## Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging and maps of T1 and T2 values were used to study muscle composition in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The mean T2 of anterior tibial muscle was 27 msec in healthy control subjects and 43 msec with increased fatty infiltration in DMD patients. In stronger DM
Transcranial stimulation was performed in 4 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and 4 control subjects. The patients' central motor conduction time was normal. The threshold for evoking electromyographic responses using electrical anodal stimulation was the same in both groups, but the thresho
EMG power spectra obtained during a sustained isometric contraction were analyzed in a group of 10 children affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and compared with those obtained in a control group of 5 normal children. In myopathic subjects the isometric contraction caused an increase of th
