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

This study of quantitative electromyography examines the influence of sample size on motor unit action potential (MUAP) tolerance limits, intertrial variability, and diagnostic sensitivity. We recorded 20 randomly selected MUAPs from the biceps muscle twice in 21 normal subjects, and once in 10 pati
## Abstract During multi‐motor unit action potential (MUAP) analysis of the tonically contracted external anal sphincter (EAS), a mild interference pattern often obscures the baseline, affecting the algorithm's ability to determine accurate boundaries of detected MUAPs. To assess the equivalence of
Surface EMG is hardly used to estimate motor unit (MU) characteristics, while its non-invasiveness is less stressful for patients and allows multi-electrode recordings to investigate different sites of the muscle and MU. The present study compares motor unit potentials (MUPs) obtained with surface E
M responses and twitch contractions were evoked in single motor units (MUs) of the first dorsal interosseus muscle by intramuscular microstimulation of motor axons. Two-hundred nine MUs were studied in 21 subjects. Thirty-five MUs (17%) showed F waves in addition to M responses. Twitch force was use
