Nerve conduction studies

Polymyositis - reduced amplitude and duration of motor units
Motor neurone disease - fibrillation due to denervation
Myasthenia gravis - diminished response to repetitive stimulation
Lambert Eaton syndrome - enhanced response to repeated stimulation
Myotonia dystrophia - high frequency action potentials (Kamikazee discharge)
Demyelinating neuropathy - slow nerve conduction velocity
Axonal neuropathy - diminished action potential
