运动单位数估计(MUNE)是一种用于评估与肌肉相连的运动轴突数的电诊断程序。所有的MUNE技术都依赖于必须满足的假设，才能产生有效的估计。由于没有一个金标准来比较MUNE技术，我们开发了一个相关的神经肌肉生理学模型，并用这个模型来模拟各种MUNE技术。该模型允许对候选的MUNE技术进行量化分析，这有望有助于就执行MUNE的标准程序达成共识。
Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) is an electrodiagnostic procedure used to evaluate the number of motor axons connected to a muscle. All MUNE techniques rely on assumptions that must be fulfilled to produce a valid estimate. As there is no gold standard to compare the MUNE techniques against, we have developed a model of the relevant neuromuscular physiology and have used this model to simulate various MUNE techniques. The model allows for a quantitative analysis of candidate MUNE techniques that will hopefully contribute to consensus regarding a standard procedure for performing MUNE.
