Electrodiagnostic Assessment of Neuromuscular Junction Disorders

This article reviews advanced electrodiagnostic techniques used to assess for neuromuscular junction disorders, including repetitive nerve stimulation, conventional or concentric-needle single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG), and stimulated SFEMG. These techniques have high sensitivity but limited specificity. Novel methods currently under investigation are discussed, including vestibular ocular myogenic potential and oculography analysis.
