Fasciculation score: a sensitive biomarker in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

ConclusionsALS patients exhibited the multifocal continuous pattern of fasciculation in limbs. FS showed high sensitivity and specificity in differentiating ALS from non-ALS patients, and the optimal cut-off value was determined as 4. The combination of MUS and EMG can provide additional information about specific muscles.
