ESTIMATION OF F-WAVE TIMES OF ARRIVAL (TOA) FOR USE IN THE ASSESSMENT OF NEUROMUSCULAR FUNCTION

摘要

A method and apparatus for the assessment of neuromuscular function by estimating motor unit F-wave component time of arrival (TOA), comprising: (i) determining and comparing F-wave component features so as to accurately identify individual F-wave components; (ii) repeatedly searching the individual F-wave components and extracting additional individual F-wavelets where possible so as to build a complete F- wave TOA profile; and (iii) computing and reporting TOA results for the assessment of neuromuscular function.
