Motor unit number index (MUNIX): Is it relevant in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP)?

CONCLUSIONS: The MUNIX technique has a good reproducibility and the MUNIX sumscore is related to the disability.
SIGNIFICANCE: The MUNIX technique estimates the axonal loss and the number of functional motor units. The MUNIX sumscore may be a good instrument to evaluate the CIDP patients during their follow-up.
