Download or read book Motor Unit Number Estimation MUNE written by Mark B. Bromberg and published by Elsevier Science Health Science Division. This book was released on 2003 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MUNE is a non-invasive, electrophysiologic method to estimate the number of motor neurons innervating a muscle or group of muscles. The ability to quantitatively estimate the number of surviving motor neurons is useful in the following areas: (a) clinically for diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders; (b) as an endpoint measure in clinical drug trials for lower motor neuron disorders; and (c) as a tool to obtain insight into the natural history and pathophysiology of lower motor neuron disorders. Relevant lower motor neuron disorders include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth inherited neuropathies. To date, there has been no formal meeting of investigators working in the field of MUNE. The symposium is designed to: (a) review and discuss the methods, advantages and disadvantages of each MUNE technique; (b) review previous applications of MUNE in research and clinical trials; (c) formulate plans for further studies to clarify issues that affect the accuracy and utility of MUNE. The symposium and workshop included an international roster of approximately 20 invited speakers who presented formal talks on the methods, assumptions, techniques and applications. Presentations by representatives from EMG equipment manufacturers were given. Each talk was followed by a discussion session, and groups of talks by a panel discussion. This publication is meant to serve as a manual for the theory and practice of MUNE. Currently, there is no book addressing MUNE.

Download or read book Understanding Motor Unit and Muscle Alterations for Neurologic Rehabilitation written by Ping Zhou and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurological injuries (such as hemispheric stroke and spinal cord injury, etc.) can result in muscle weakness and spasticity. The affected muscles often experience progressive changes in their intrinsic mechanical properties, giving rise to muscle contracture and associated alterations in muscle internal structural changes. The mechanisms behind the changes are multifactorial, including disuse, autonomic changes, peripheral neuropathy, a loss of central motor neuron trophic influences, and/or their combinations. Regardless of the origins of weakness and other changes, it is very important to understand or quantify complex neuromuscular changes after a neurological injury.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishing a valid, reliable, and objective method for determining the number of functioning motor units in a muscle is important clinically, as it would provide a quantitative means of documenting changes in neuromuscular health over time. This thesis addressed the reliability of motor unit number estimates (MUNEs) derived using decomposition-based quantitative electromyography (DQEMG) from the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) and abductor hallucis (AH) muscles. Additionally, the effect of the mean surface motor unit potential (SMUP) parameter averaging method (arithmetic/ensemble), the size-related parameter used to calculate MUNE (amplitude/area), and the type of SMUP marker editing (automatic/manual) was investigated in terms of MUNE values. Two separate analyses on a single data set collected from twenty healthy subjects on two occasions were conducted. MUNEs were calculated by dividing a size-related parameter (amplitude/area) of the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) by the same size-related parameter of a representative mean SMUP. First, paired t-tests investigated differences in MUNEs calculated using arithmetic and ensemble averaged SMUP parameters. Within- and between-day reliability of the two measurements was established using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs), coefficients of variation (CV), mean absolute differences (MAD), and Bland Altman limits of agreement (LOA). Second, MUNEs (using both parameters) derived from automated and manually edited SMUPs were compared. The effect of the size-related parameter and editing type was identified using a two-factor, repeated measures analysis of variance. Reliability was determined as described above. Arithmetic averaged SMUP parameters produced smaller MUNEs than those derived from ensemble averaging (p0.001). SMUP area produced higher MUNEs than SMUP amplitude (p0.05), except when using arithmetic averaged parameters in AH. Interaction effects between editing type and size parameter were present in both muscles (F6.68, p0.001). Between-day MUNEs had lower CVs and MADs, higher ICCs, and narrower LOAs than within-day MUNEs. MUNEs derived from arithmetic averaged SMUP parameters showed the highest reliability (ICCs0.91). MUNEs calculated from automated SMUP marker placements were highly correlated (r0.86) and displayed comparable reliabilities to those derived from manual marker placement (ICCs>0.90). To optimize the reproducibility of MUNEs calculated using DQEMG, while minimizing processing time, between-day automated estimates using arithmetic averaged SMUP amplitude is recommended.
