Determinants of mean motor unit size: Impact on estimates of motor unit number

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare two fundamentally different methods of deriving the average surface-detected motor unit action potential (S-MUAP) size from which to calculate a motor unit number estimate (MUNE), namely: (1) the simple arithmetic average of S-MUAP parameter values; and (2) a computer-derived datapoint by datapoint average waveform which takes account of differences in S-MUAP shapes and durations. Multiple point …
