Electromyography (EMG)

A diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of muscles. In the test, small electrodes are placed on or in the skin; the patterns of electrical activity are projected on a screen or over a loudspeaker. This procedure is used to test for muscle disorders, including muscular dystrophy.

As tonic chin EMG activity and AHI showed significant difference between MSA-P group and PD group, both of them had great associations with RBD, so we divided both groups into with (MSA + RBD; PD + RBD) or without RBD (MSA - RBD; PD - RBD) subgroups to make other comparisons.
