Optically pumped magnetometers detect altered maximal muscle activity in neuromuscular disease

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The hallmark of most neuromuscular diseases is muscle weakness, which often emerges because of motor neuron loss (Garg et_al, 2017). To compensate for this motor neuron loss, collateral sprouting from neighboring motor neurons arises and leads to a re-innervation of muscle fibers, ultimately increasing the size of individual motor units (Edds, 1953; Kugelberg et_al, 1970; Milner-Brown et_al, 1974; Zochodne, 2012). At the same time, the interference signal also shows a high amplitude, since the remaining compensatory oversized motor units innervate a larger number of muscle fibers (i.e., a larger signal source . . .
