Characterization of Fasciculation Potentials (FPs) in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Peripheral Nerve Hyperexcitability Syndromes (PNH)

<div>Fasciculation detection rates by needle EMG on each muscle. The fasciculation detection rates by needle EMG on each muscle were analyzed and compared between the ALS and PNH groups. ALS: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; PNH: peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndrome; TON: tongue; SCM: sternocleidomastoid; TPZ: upper trapezius; DEL: deltoid; BB: biceps brachialis; FCR: flexor carpi radialis; EDC: extensor digitorum communis; FDI: first dorsal interosseous; APB: abductor pollicis brevis; ABD: rectus abdominis; T8PS and T10PS: 8<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> thoracic paraspinal; QUAD: quadriceps femoris; IP: iliopsoas; TA: tibialis anterior; GM: gluteus maximus; AH: abductor hallucis.</div>
