Clinical Utility of Far‐Field Potentials in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Far field potentials (FFP) have been proposed as a reliable neurophysiological prognostic biomarker in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This study evaluates the diagnostic utility of ulnar nerve FFP in ALS. Methods Comprehensive peripheral neurophysiological assessments were conducted in 62 ALS and 43 ALS‐mimicking ...
