| dc.description.abstract | To analyze the variability in manual measurements of motor unit action potential (MUAP) duration and to evaluate the effectiveness of well-known algorithms for automatic measurement. Two electromyographists carried out three independent duration measurements of a set of 240 MUAPs. The intraexaminer and interexaminer variabilities were analyzed by means of the Gage Reproducibility and Repeatability method. The mean of the three closest manually marked positions was considered the gold standard of the duration markers positions (GSP). The results of four wellknown automatic methods for estimating MUAP duration were compared with the GSP. Manual measurements of duration showed a lot of variability, with the combined intraoperator and interoperator variability greater than 30%. The greatest difference between manual positions was 11.2 ms. The mean differences between the GSP and those obtained with the four automatic methods ranged between 0.6 and 8.5 ms. Both manual and automatic measurements of MUAP duration show a high degree of variability. More precise methods are needed to improve the accuracy and reliability of the estimates of this parameter. | en |
