Default For the boffins - please advise

Hi,

I have just received my test results from my consultant . On the SFEMG which I have always been told was negative I found this in the report -

- I performed a single fibre analysis of the right orbicularis oculi collecting over 20 units. Apart from one unit which showed borderline excess of jitter the other units demonstrated a normal MCD.

How many Jitters does one need to show !

In another report of a sfemg the Dr states

- Repetitive nerve stimulation was performed on the right median, the right ulnar, right peroneal, right tibial, right accessory, , left facial recording from the nasalis muscle, right facial recording from orbicularis oculi muscles. A repetative nerve stimulation "showed no significant decrement" in any of the nerves tested.

So what is significant and there had to be a small jitter to show no significant decrement.

Anyway over to you guys

Love
Rach
