Motor complications in thoracic herpes zoster were evaluated in 52 patients by electromyographic examination of the paraspinal muscles. At the initial EMG examination, abnormal findings were observed in 18 patients (35%). In 8 patients the myomers involved coincided in location with affected dermatomes, while in 10 patients, in addition to the involvement of myomers corresponding to affected dermatomes, there also appeared an involvement of one or more contiguous myomers not corresponding to affected dermatomes. Our study demonstrated that motor involvement in thoracic HZ is much more common than previously suggested and its incidence (35%) appears to be greater than that reported in both cervical and lumbosacral HZ.
通过对52例胸段带状疱疹患者的椎旁肌进行肌电图检查，评估运动并发症情况。在初次肌电图检查时，18例患者（35%）出现异常表现。8例患者受累的肌节在位置上与受影响的皮节一致，而在10例患者中，除了与受影响皮节相对应的肌节受累外，还出现了一个或多个与受影响皮节不对应的相邻肌节受累。我们的研究表明，胸段带状疱疹的运动受累比之前认为的更为常见，其发生率（35%）似乎高于颈段和腰骶段带状疱疹的报道发生率。
