Neurophysiologische Diagnostik der Amyotrophen Lateralsklerose

The neurophysiological examination thus plays a decisive role in the diagnosis of ALS and its differential diagnosis. In the following study, the neurophysiological investigations (electroneurography, electromyography, and evoked potentials) established in ALS diagnostics are presented and a brief outlook on promising newer investigation techniques in the field of ALS such as Motor Unit Number Index and Muscle ultrasonography are given.
