In traumatic nerve lesions (TNLs), motor unit potentials (MUPs) may be difficult to detect in early injury. Ultrasound-guided electromyography (US-EMG) can aid in identifying areas of muscle activation, but its sensitivity can be improved. In this study we compare the sensitivity of US-EMG alone with US-EMG after peripheral nerve stimulation (NC-US-EMG) to better identify active muscle regions.

Abstract
In traumatic nerve lesions (TNLs), motor unit potentials (MUPs) may be difficult to detect in early injury. Ultrasound-guided electromyography (US-EMG) can aid in identifying areas of muscle activation, but its sensitivity can be improved. In this study we compare the sensitivity of US-EMG alone with US-EMG after peripheral nerve stimulation (NC-US-EMG) to better identify active muscle regions.
