The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using decomposition-based quantitative electromyography DQEMG to study the pathophysiological changes associated with compression neuropathy. Methods The model used to examine compression neuropathy was carpal tunnel syndrome CTS due to its high prevalence and ease of diagnosis. Surface and concentric needle electromyography data were acquired simultaneously from the abductor pollicis brevis muscle in six individuals with severe CTS eight individuals with mild CTS and nine healthy control subjects. DQEMG was used to detect intramuscular MUPTs during constantintensity contractions and to estimate parameters associated with the surface- and needle-detected motor unit potentials SMUPs and MUPs respectively . MUP morphology and stability SMUP morphology and motor unit number estimates MUNEs were compared among the groups using Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results The severe CTS group had larger amplitude and longer duration MUPs and smaller MUNEs than the mild CTS and control groups suggesting that the individuals with severe CTS had motor unit loss with subsequent collateral reinnervation and that DQEMG using a constant-intensity protocol was sensitive to these changes. SMUP morphology and MUP complexity and stability did not significantly differ among the groups. Conclusions These results provide evidence that MUP amplitude parameters and MUNEs
