Single-Fiber Electromyography, Reimagined for Today’s Practice

Explore the third edition of Single Fiber Electromyography: Studies in Healthy and Diseased Muscle, the seminal work that defined SFEMG technique and interpretation, now available in a convenient digital format for modern electrodiagnostic laboratories. This comprehensive reference brings together over five decades of investigative and clinical experience from pioneers in the field—Dr. Erik Stålberg, Dr. Jože V. Trontelj, and Dr. Donald B. Sanders—into a single, fully searchable resource tailored to everyday diagnostic decision-making. Beginning with foundational motor unit physiology and selective recording principles, the book systematically details SFEMG electrodes and equipment, recording procedures in adults and children, and practical jitter measurement techniques, including common technical pitfalls and strategies to avoid them. Subsequent chapters apply SFEMG to a broad spectrum of clinical conditions, from neuromuscular transmission disorders such as myasthenia gravis and Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome, to neurogenic disorders, primary muscle diseases, and channelopathies, while also integrating complementary methods such as macro EMG, scanning EMG, multielectrode mapping, and reflex studies.

Richly informed by the authors’ extensive clinical and research experience, the third edition incorporates updated reference values, refined analysis methods (including jitter measurement with concentric electrodes), and expanded discussions of pharmacologic effects, pediatric applications, and the historical development of SFEMG. Designed to support both learning and real-time problem solving, this text helps clinicians recognize normal and abnormal discharge patterns, understand jitter and fiber density in context, and integrate SFEMG findings with conventional EMG to sharpen diagnostic accuracy.
