Abstract
Quantitative EMG is an MUAP analysis technique providing objective information on the NEE. The concept and techniques are not new; however, with the advancement of computer technology, quantitative EMG is now more easily performed. The study requires solid knowledge of basic neurophysiology and access to the appropriate instrument to provide smooth technique and accurate interpretation. Despite recent technical advances, the original MUAP parameters defined by Buchthal are still widely used today as reference values [13]. It is increasingly recognized that many factors can influence the obtained parameters. The ability to measure something does not mean that it is fully understood. The future of quantitative EMG will depend on increased understanding of the physiologic and pathophysiologic significance of the detailed numeric parameters that are generated.
