The potential role of motor unit number estimation as an additional diagnostic and prognostic value in canine neurology

The potential role of motor unit number estimation as an additional diagnostic and prognostic value in canine neurology

Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) is an electrophysiological technique to assess the number of motor units innervating a single muscle or muscle group of interest. It may quantify axonal loss in any disease involving injury or degeneration of ventral horn cells or motor axons. Since MUNE has rarel...
