OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the relation and sensitivity of macro-EMG (MA-EMG) compared with concentric-needle EMG (CN-EMG) in the detection of neuromuscular disorders.
METHODS: CN-EMGs and MA-EMGs were recorded from the right brachial biceps muscle of 40 healthy subjects, aged 17-83 years, 20 patients with neurogenic disorders, aged 25-75 years, and 20 patients with myopathy, aged 18-76 years. Motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) were examined.
RESULTS: In patients with neurogenic disorders CN-MUAP duration, CN-MUAP amplitude, percent polyphasia, MA-MUAP amplitude, MA-MUAP area and fibre density were significantly increased. In patients with myopathy, only fibre density was significantly increased. In patients with neurogenic disorders, the sensitivity of CN-EMG was 80%, and that of MA-EMG 85%. In myopathies, the sensitivity was 50% for each technique. Pooling the results of both EMG techniques, the sensitivity increased to 90% in patients with neurogenic disorders, and to 65% in myogenic disease.
CONCLUSIONS: MA-EMG has a similar sensitivity in the detection of neuromuscular disorders as CN-EMG. Particularly when myopathy is suspected, both techniques should be applied if one is unrevealing.
