The different parts of the external anal sphincter (EAS) are usually regarded as one muscle with common EMG characteristics. This assumption was addressed by comparing the number of continuously firing motor units (MUs) during relaxation, as well as the parameters of motor unit potentials (MUPs) and

The external anal sphincter (EAS) anatomy is complex, and no exact technique of needle electrode insertion into it for electromyography (EMG) has been described. To define optimal positions for needle electrode insertions, EAS muscle topography was studied by concentric needle EMG. Fifteen women wit
The distinction of multiple system atrophy (MSA) from Parkinson's disease (PD) can be difficult, especially early in the disease. In MSA degeneration of sacral anterior horn cells (Onuf's nucleus) results in denervation-reinnervation of anal and urethral sphincter muscles, which can be recognized as
