The estimated numbers and relative sizes of thenar motor units as selected by multiple point stimulation in young and older adults
Abstract
Multiple point stimulation (MPS) is described as a method of estimating the numbers of motor units in the median innervated thenar muscles of young and older control subjects. Stimulation at multiple sites along the course of the median nerve was employed to collect a sample of the lowest threshold, all‐or‐nothing surface‐recorded motor unit action potentials (S‐MUAPs). The average, negative peak area, and peak‐to‐peak amplitude of the sample of S‐MUAPs was determined and divided into the corresponding value for the maximal compound muscle action potential to derive the motor unit estimate (MUE). In 37 trials from 17 younger subjects (20—40 years), the mean MUE was 288 ± 95 SD based on negative peak area and, in 33 trials from 20 older subjects, mean values were 139 ± 68. In 23 young and older subjects, MPS was performed on at least two occasions and the MUEs were found to be highly correlated (r = 0.88). © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
