EMG reveals normal muscle membrane potential (as indicated by normal insertional activity {Ins Act}, fibrillations {Fibs} and positive sharp waves {Psw}) and intact action potential (as indicated by normal amplitude {Amp}, duration {Dur}, Polyphasic activity {Poly}). Study also reveals significantly reduced nervous system output (as indicate by recruitment {Recrt}, interference pattern {Int Pat}. Note: only 25% of the nervous system output was reaching the mentioned muscle.
