Table 1. Electromyographic assessment of spontaneous and voluntary muscle activity in right-sided muscles.

Electromyographic findings from the right posterior deltoid, biceps brachii, first dorsal interosseous, rectus femoris, and tibialis anterior muscles show polyphasic motor unit potentials and early recruitment patterns, indicating a myopathic process. Occasional fasciculations (1+) are present while the absence of fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves reduces the likelihood of acute denervation.

  Spontaneous Activity Voluntary Activity
Muscle Interpretation Fibrillation potentials Positive sharp waves Fasciculations Amplitude of motor unit potentials Duration of motor unit potentials Polyphasic potentials Insertional potential Recruitment pattern
Right Deltoideus Posterior Myopathy 0 0 1+ - - + + Early
Right Biceps Myopathy 0 0   - - + + Early
Right Interosseous Dorsalis Myopathy 0 0   - - + + Early
Right Rectus Femoris Myopathy 0 0 1+ - - + + Early
Right Tibialis Anterior Myopathy 0 0   - - + + Early
