Abstract
The current state of motor unit potential (MUP) analysis is reviewed. New quantitative analysis methods are described and compared with traditional manual measurements. The emphasis in this review is on a new method, multi-MUP analysis and the detection of individual outliers. Multi-MUP analysis is based on decomposition EMG. The main advantage of these new methods is that they save time and allow immediate comparison between obtained results and reference values. The results are repeatable and independent of the investigator.
Sommario
Viene presentata una revisione delle tecniche di analisi dei potenziali di unità motoria (PUM). Vengono descritti nuovi metodi di analisi quantitativa e paragonati al metodo tradizionale di misura manuale. Particolare rilievo viene dato ad un nuovo metodo, analisi multi-MUP e alla definizione di valori limite. L'analisi multi-MUP è basata sulla scomposizione dell'EMG. Il maggior vantaggio di questi nuovi metodi è nel risparmio di tempo e nella possibilità di una immediata comparazione tra i risultati ottenuti e i valori di riferimento. I risultati sono riproducibili e indipendenti dalla soggettività dell'esaminatore.
