title: Quantitative electromyography: carrier detection in Duchenne type muscular dystrophy using a new automatic technique.
abstract: An automated method of quantitating small electromyographic changes, based on the ratio of action potential duration to the number of phases per potential, was applied to carriers of X-linked Duchenne type muscular dystrophy. The ratio was found to be significantly raised in a proportion of these cases.
