Abstract

Motor units were studied in children by means of electromyography using skin surface leads. In the control group of healthy children, 295 action potentials typical of the age dynamics were recorded from motor units. In the group of children with type I diabetes mellitus and diabetic polyneuropathy, a higher amplitude and a longer duration of motor unit action potentials than in the control group, which are typical of diabetic polyneuropathy, were observed.
