## Abstract The sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) is an accessory inspiratory muscle, but it is not investigated systematically in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We aimed to study the involvement of the SCM and to evaluate the role of the diaphragm and SCM on respiratory tests pe
The electrophysiologic study of motor units in the Houston Veteran's Affairs Medical Center. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. human patient has a long history, 1,3,5,9,12 and the recent revival of interest in motor unit number estimation (MUNE) 2,4,6,10,11,13,14 has prompted the refi
The objective of this study was to examine the contribution of lower motor neuron (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction to weakness and impaired motor control in 27 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Isometric strength was measured by dorsiflexor maximum voluntary contractio
Mutations of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase cause an autosomal dominant form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. An animal model of the disease has been produced by expressing mutant human SOD1 in transgenic mice (G93A). In order to quantify the dysfunction of the motor unit in transgenic mice, e
