Needle electromyography abnormalities in the upper trapezius muscle in neuromuscular disorders

DISCUSSION: There may be more frequent needle EMG abnormalities, particularly in ALS patients and patients with SAN lesions. Since the number of patients with myopathy included in this study was low, it is difficult to comment on the needle EMG features of the TM for these patients. In addition, this study indicated that fasciculation potentials in the TM are typical in ALS patients and that MUAP may not be obtained from the TM in patients with SAN lesions.PMID:36945948 | DOI:10.55730/1300-0144.5578
