The diagnostic value of muscle ultrasound in the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has increased because it can detect fasciculations more reliably than EMG in certain muscle groups (e.g. tongue) as well as it can access certain muscle groups more easily than EMG (e.g. tongue, diaphragm, abdominal muscles). Recently, we have introduced the D50 ALS model which enables the assessment...
Muscle ultrasound has become an important tool in the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), because it can access muscle groups non-invasively which are difficult or dangerous to explore using EMG (tongue, diaphragm, abdominal muscles etc.). Also, it accesses larger muscle areas, and can quantify atrophy and fasciculation in a short examination time. Its role in regular clinical use for...
