MScanFit motor unit number estimation (MScan) and muscle velocity recovery cycle recordings in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients.

CONCLUSION: MScanFit MUNE gives a sensitive and quantitative measure of loss of TA motor units in ALS. Muscle fiber membrane properties are mostly unaffected, despite substantial denervation, presumably due to collateral reinnervation. SIGNIFICANCE: MScan is suitable for detecting motor unit loss in TA. MVRCs do not provide new insights in ALS. PMID: 31163374 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
