title: The description of motor unit potentials in electromyography.
abstract: It has been suggested that the findings on needle electromyography should be described by abbreviations such as "SSAP" rather than "myopathic." The patterns of changes that may occur and their pathophysiologic basis make both of these terms unsuitable. Quantitative measurements are needed.
