Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

Quantitative Spatiotemporal Analysis of Ultrasound Images of Fasciculations in ALS

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Fasciculations are a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), yet quantitative description of individual events on muscle ultrasound (MUS) is limited. We characterized the spatiotemporal kinematics of individual fasciculations to determine whether they differ between ALS and other neurogenic conditions.

Enabling Functional Independence: A Scoping Review of Upper Extremity Assistive Devices for Adults With Progressive Neuromuscular Diseases

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarizes the spectrum of upper extremity assistive devices for adults with progressive neuromuscular diseases, ranging from low‐tech supports to advanced robotics, exoskeletons, and brain‐computer interface systems. While these technologies show promise for improving enabling function, current evidence is largely limited to ...

Diagnostic Performance of the Strength‐Duration Test for Bedside Screening of Critical Illness Polyneuropathy and/or Myopathy: A Prospective, Cross‐Sectional Study

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Critical illness polyneuropathy and/or myopathy (CIP/CIM) is a major cause of weakness in the intensive care unit (ICU). The availability of conventional electrodiagnostic testing may be limited. Alternative electrophysiologic methods, including the strength‐duration test (SDT) and the stimulus electrodiagnosis test (SET ...
