We have recently reported abnormalities of single fibre EMG in patients with multiple sclerosis. The present study applies quantitative electrophysiological techniques to the same group of patients. The number of motor units in the extensor digitorum brevis muscle was measured and their characteristics recorded. Also the shortest distal motor latency and fastest motor conduction velocities were estimated. Abnormalities suggesting a patchy denervating/reinnervating process due to pathology in the intramuscular nerve network or at the endplate were found in a number of patients. There was a good correlation between patients with abnormal motor unit potentials and those with abnormal single fibre EMG "jitter".
我们最近报道了多发性硬化症患者单纤维肌电图的异常情况。本研究将定量电生理技术应用于同一组患者。测量了趾短伸肌中运动单位的数量并记录了其特征。还估计了最短远端运动潜伏期和最快运动传导速度。在许多患者中发现了因肌内神经网络或终板病变导致的提示散在失神经/再支配过程的异常情况。运动单位电位异常的患者与单纤维肌电图“颤抖”异常的患者之间存在良好的相关性。
