Randomized trial evaluates CMAP features in individuals with spinal cord injury, suggesting advancements in neuromuscular assessment techniques.
Key Points
This research aims to create a comprehensive CMAP scan dataset to support motor unit number estimation in individuals with spinal cord injury and healthy controls.
Collected CMAP scan data from the first dorsal interosseous muscle of 13 individuals with spinal cord injury and 13 healthy controls.
Extracted CMAP waveforms and analyzed parameters relevant to motor unit status.
Participants underwent various clinical assessments to assess the severity of motor impairments.
A diverse range of CMAP features was identified in SCI participants, corresponding to impairment severity.
The dataset facilitates research on advanced CMAP-based assessments and neuromuscular impairments.
