    Journal: Electromyogr Clin Neurophysiol; 1992 Mar; 32(3):113-7. PubMed ID: 1313355.
    Abstract:
    Computer analysis of absolute number of peaks per second and the number of peaks in the multipeaked spikes/sec was carried out in the EMG interference recordings of 5 healthy, 6 myopathic and 8 neuropathic subjects. The purpose of the study was to detect diagnostically different patterns. A spike was considered multipeaked if it had 6 or more peaks. The amplitude of elimination (baseline) was examined at 1: 5, 1: 10 and 1: 15 of the average amplitude per second. Both the number of peaks and the number of peaks in multipeaked spikes in the neuropathic and myopathic muscles showed statistically significant differences when compared to healthy muscles. This technique could give an indication for the differential diagnosis of myopathic, neuropathic or healthy state of the muscle.
