Muscle state at time of nerve stimulation Muscle

Muscle state nerve stim Muscle

Definition

  • Whether the muscle was at rest or was post-exercise. The pattern of pre- and post-exercise action potential amplitudes helps diagnose specific neuromuscular disorders. For example, in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, there is a significant increment in action potential amplitude in the post-exercise state due to an increase in calcium influx in the nerve terminal.
