| Difficulty relaxing the genioglossus muscle makes the evaluation of spontaneous activity problematic in patients with motor neuron disease (MND). We performed jitter analysis using conventional disposable concentric needle electrodes (CNEs) of the voluntarily activated genioglossus muscle in patients with and without MND to detect the denervation-reinnervation process. CNE jitter analysis was performed at the genioglossus muscle in 21 MND(+) patients and 22 MND(-) subjects. The jitter analysis was considered abnormal if the jitter values exceeded these limits for the mean consecutive difference (MCD) or the individual MCD in more than 10% of readings. Seventeen MND(+) patients (81%) had at least three abnormal individual jitter values whereas denervation findings were obtained in eleven of them during the needle electromyographic examination at genioglossus muscle. None of the MND(-) subjects showed CNE jitter abnormality. CNE jitter analysis of genioglossus muscle may provide an useful information that may be suggestive of a diagnosis of MND/ALS. |
