Abstract :
Single motor unit (SMU) discharge patterns on patients with upper motor neuron lesions (UMNL) have been estimated with the fractional process. The results showed that the estimated fractional parameter γ´s were statistically significant between normal subjects and patients. We believe that γ is a better parameter to characterize SMU discharge patterns
