Abstract: Muscle fasciculations, resulting from the spontaneous activation of motor neurons, may be associated with neurological disorders, and are often assessed with intramuscular electromyography ...

Doctors identify these movements as 'fasciculations', because they occur when individual nerve fibers, which control small muscle groups activate independently to produce brief muscle contractions.

Abstract: The clinical standard for the identification of muscle fasciculations is needle electromyography. However, both surface electromyograms (sEMG) and ultrasound imaging (US) have been recently ...
