Abstract
This is a review of the neurophysiological techniques used clinically to demonstrate abnormalities of neuromuscular transmission. The use of these tests in myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, congenital myasthenic syndromes, and other conditions with disturbed neuromuscular transmission is presented.
