“…If the mean jitter -time between activation of all fiber pairs (or endplates) -exceeds the upper limit of normal for that muscle, or if more than 10% of pairs have jitter that exceeds the upper limit of jitter during voluntary activation, then the study is considered abnormal. SFEMG is 62 to 99 percent sensitive for detection of MG, and its specificity is reported to be from 66 to 98 percent (Ukachoke et al 1994;de Entrambasaguas et al 2007;Mercelis and Merckaert 2011); however, it implementation is limited due to the requirements of specially-trained, experienced examiners. Although it is labor-intensive, SFEMG should be considered in patients with a strong clinical suspicion for OM in which repetitive nerve stimulation is negative, due to its higher sensitivity (Srivastava et al 2007).…”
