Feasibility and reliability of MScanFit motor unit number estimation in peroneus longus muscle

Abstract: Introduction/Aims Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) methods may be valuable to detect motor involvement earlier than compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude. The most recent MUNE method, MScanFit, has been shown to have advantages compared with previously described methods. However, MScanFit has only been applied in a few lower extremity muscles. In this study we examined the feasibility and reliability of MScanFit in peroneus longus muscle. Methods Twenty healthy controls (16 males and 4 females; … Show more

“…MUNE and CMAP maximum were not correlated, despite the near 3-fold range of values in both (Fig 3C). Others reported a similar lack of correlation between these measures when data were analyzed using MScanFit-2 [11,22], although significant correlations were reported…”

“…The minimum unit size was set to the greater of the CMAP amplitude/300, and 1/5th of the mean unit size. MUNE values have been found to be less dependent on CMAP maximum using MScanFit-2 compared to the original MScanFit-1 options [11,22]. First, a flat section of the pre and post-scan periods, where signal fluctuation was minimal, was set manually.…”

“…In SMA proximal muscles are most severely affected, so analysis in distal muscles and nerves might underestimate true disease-related effects. ( Kiernan et al, 2020 , Song et al, 2022 , Tankisi et al, 2022 , Wadman et al, 2012 ).…”

“…Although this study examined pulse duration of 0.1 ms and 0.2 ms, standardized longer pulse duration might be necessary for such nerves. For example, a pulse duration of 0.5 or 1 ms was used for CMAP scan examination of tibialis anterior and peroneus longus muscles innervated by peroneal nerve ( Kristensen et al, 2020 ; Sørensen et al, 2022 ; Tankisi et al, 2022 ). Given that there was no significant difference in MUNE between protocols of 500 and 1,000 steps at the same pulse width, the protocol of 500 steps is preferred because it requires less time to record and is thus more tolerable for the subject.…”
