Electromyography in motor neurone disease

Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

Authoring team

Motor neurone disease shows a typical pattern of severe chronic denervation:

  • spontaneous fibrillation potentials
  • reduced number of spikes on activity due to the reduced number of motor neurones and thus, motor units present
  • increased duration and amplitude of action potentials of surviving units
