Non-invasive assessment of motor unit activation in relation to motor neuron level and lesion location in stroke and spinal muscular atrophy

The results suggest, that for stroke, information from the brain is modified thereby resulting in motor units firing at their natural frequency. Thus, high spatial resolution electromyography and the chosen parameters facilitate non-invasive, objective differentiation and analysis of the activation patterns of motor units in neuromuscular disorders.
