Quantitative motor unit potential analysis.
A review of quantitative methods for electromyography is given. Background information about motor unit anatomy, physiology, and pathology is provided to explain some of the presented electrophysiological phenomena. Different aspects of quantitation, such as motor unit action potential parameters, automatic analysis methods, reference values, and findings in abnormal conditions, are discussed.
