Using turns per unit amplitude as the index, consistent and comparable readings were recorded from abductor digiti minimi, biceps brachii and vastus medialis in normal subjects, namely 1.132 +/- 0.08 (31 subjects), 1.059 +/- 0.122 (31 subjects) and 1.007 +/- 0.088 (11 subjects), respectively. It is shown here that the diagnostic yield increases when all 3 values, namely, turns/s, average amplitude and turns/unit amplitude are considered in conjunction rather than considering the first 2 alone.</p>  a0022-510X
