Abstract

The essentials of electrophysiologic methods for the evaluation of changes in motor units in primary and secondary muscular atrophies and the application of multielectrode technic are described.

Motor unit features in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and healthy controls are shown, the differences encounlered discussed. Outstanding features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis were the enlargement of motor unit territory and increased maximal voltage compared
to normal controls.

Motor Ünite Bölgesinin Multielektrot ile İncelenmesi

Abstract

Primer ve sekonder kas atrofilerinde, motor ünitelerde meydana gelen değişikliklerin elektrofizyolojik metotlarla tayininde temel olan prensipler ve multielektrot tekniğin uygulanış şekli bildiridi. Kontrol gurubu ile amiyotrofik lateral skleroz'lu hastaların motor ünite özellikleri vak'alar üzerinde gösterilerek aralarındaki farkların nedenleri tartışıldı.
