Quantitative electromyography: carrier detection in Duchenne type muscular dystrophy using a new automatic technique.
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.
