Özet

Some conventional and quantitative EMG studies have already demonstrated a subclinical lower motor neuron involvement in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). Our aim was to investigate this subclinical involvement by using motor unit number estimation (MUNE) analysis with modified McComas' technique.
