“…The choice of muscle is also important in this aspect, e.g., in a patient with a history of radiculopathy C7, one would not rely on EDC muscle jitter study.

The diagnosis of autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis (MG) remains clinical and rests on the history and physical findings of fatigable, fluctuating muscle weakness in a specific distribution.

We present an update on the tests used in the diagnosis and follow-up of MG and the suggested approach for their application.
