Motor unit potentials (MUPs) recorded from the biceps brachii (BB) during voluntary contraction in a patient with myositis. The tracing shows an early recruitment of many small, long-duration potentials during a slight muscle contraction. An overlap of many potentials makes it difficult to distinguish an individual MUP, which, therefore, must undergo scrutiny during a very minimal muscle contraction.
