Motor Unit Number Estimate

Motor Unit Number Estimate (MUNE) is a non-invasive test that provides an electrophysiological estimate of the number of functioning motor units (individual lower motor neuron and its territory controlling muscle fibers). The MUNE testing is a state of the art electromyography (EMG) examination which does not use needle examination.
