Assessment of muscle fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients in electromyographic examinations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although surface electromyography (sEMG) is the method used to assess muscle fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), no pattern of signal change has been established. The differences shown in the parameters of other neurophysiological tests between PwMS and control groups (CG) suggest the differentiation of the sEMG signal.

Aim

The purpose of the study was to verify potential differences in the fatigue sEMG signal in PwMS compared to CG.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Chair and Department of Functional Diagnostics and Physical Medicine.

Population

A randomised group of patients diagnosed with MS (30, 20-41 years). A random sample of young, healthy adults (median 28, 20-39 years).

Methods

Measurement of sEMG was perfor
