The study of normal and abnormal neuromuscular transmission with single fibre electromyography

The use of single fibre electromyography (SFEMG) in the study of neuromuscular transmission across individual motor endplates in situ is reviewed. The neuromuscular jitter can be studied both during voluntary contraction and electrical activation of the muscle fibre. The differences, pitfalls and ad...

Zusammenfassung:	The use of single fibre electromyography (SFEMG) in the study of neuromuscular transmission across individual motor endplates in situ is reviewed. The neuromuscular jitter can be studied both during voluntary contraction and electrical activation of the muscle fibre. The differences, pitfalls and advantages of these methods are discussed. Findings in myasthenia gravis and other disorders of the neuromuscular transmission are examined.
