Motor units in patients with motor neurone disease and polyneuropathy were studied with a new multielectrode technique allowing fibre mapping. In these disorders which are characterised by reinnervation the motor unit fibre distribution is changed from a normal scattered pattern to grouping often in clinically uninvolved muscles without definite EMG abnormalities. The changes found with this multielectrode technique in man are in accordance with those found in reinnervated motor units studied histochemically in the experimental animal.
