Preface
Over the last decades the developments and applications of electromyographic and electroneurographic methods have been of great value in giving us insights into the functions of various neuronal systems. More recently, considerable advances in new technologies, e.g. computerization and microtechniques, as well as a remarkable increase of interest in the functions of the central nervous system, especially in motor control, can be recognized. The tremendous advances in the development of electromyography, electroneurography and evoked potential recording as well as in recording of single motor units and of single nerve fibres raised the question from a clinical-physiological and physiological point of view as to which methods are relevant for clinical diagnosis and which technological developments can provide us
