Analysis of clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of 150 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in China

ConclusionsThe sensory system in ALS patients was commonly impaired. Cervical muscles showed the highest electrodiagnostic sensitivity. The highest positive rate was generated from detecting the spinal segment onset and the special distal muscles onset ALS in our optimized test method. Through this improved examination based on the most affected individual muscles, physicians can greatly optimize the test duration and significantly reduce patient discomfort.
