Table 5 Impact of contraction level on MUP amplitude in a new sample of healthy subjects.

From: Assessing motor deficits in compressive neuropathy using quantitative electromyography

  1. Values presented are medians and ranges. The differences in MUP amplitude between the two contraction levels were not statistically significant (F-2.45, p = 0.156). * MVC denotes maximal voluntary contraction, PPS denotes pulses per second.
