Analysis of Electroneurophysiological Detection on Children with Progressive Muscular Dystrophy / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the value of electroneurophysiological detection in diagnosis of children progressive muscular dystrophy (PMD).Methods The clinical features and laboratory data were analyzed in 32 children with PMD ,and electromyography(EMG) and nerve conduction velocity(NCV) were performed.Parameters studied included spontaneous activity , duration and amplitude of motor unit potential(MUP),pattern of recruitment as strong contracting,sensory conduction velocity(SCV),motor conduction velocity(MCV), distal latency and distal amplitude. Results The abnormality rates of spontaneous potentials was 49.2% and 80.9% in tibialis anterior.The decrease of duration of MUP was 29.7%-62.4%.Amplitude of strong contracting was significantly decreased.There were different from those in normal children(P
