The age, sex, leg temperature, room temperature, and body mass index (BMI) of the 36 subjects were recorded as one measure per subject. The temperature was measured on the anterior leg and kept above 30°C. The room temperature was kept above 22°C.
The number of MFAPs and the MFCV values was estimated to be 20 per subject.
The MFAP has confirmed after 50–100 consecutive discharges a time variability (MCD) of < 5 μs, similar to the number used for the neuromuscular jitter (6 (link)). However, < 50 could be acceptable to confirm a direct muscle fiber stimulation.
The mean MFCV value, the fastest divided by the slowest MFCV from each subject (F/S ratio), and the semi-quantitative MUAP amplitude values obtained by needle EMG were one value per subject. An example of the F/S ratio calculation is shown inFigure 1 .
Depending on the normality test, some variables have mean or median values.
