The numbers and relative sizes of motor units estimated by Computer
Abstract
A fully automated system is described for estimating the numbers and relative sizes of functioning motor units in proximal and distal muscles of the arm and leg. In this system, a computer controls the motor nerve stimulation, and analyzes the potentials evoked from the muscles; a subprogram searches for instances of "alternation." In 33 healthy volunteers, aged 21 to 56 years, the median-innervated thenar muscles of one hand were tested 2 to 3 …
