Results of EMG analysis using the Polish mini-computer ANOPS

During a study tour of the Neurological Clinic in Warsaw, the automatic EMG analysis procedure by means of the Polish computer ANOPS was tested, standard values worked out and their diagnostic information value tested on patients with neuromuscular diseases. To obtain normal values, leads from four muscles of each of 21 healthy persons were made and the electromyograms of each muscle described by five different parameters. For a differentiated neuromuscular diagnosis it is significant that the computer not only calculates the mean values of each EMG parameter but provides histograms from which further statistical indices and diagnostic information can be obtained.
