The use of the method with examination of jitter and fiber density is mentioned. Some patients (one with polyneuritis, one with dystrophia musculorum progressiva and three with myasthenia gravis) are presented, with demonstration of the jitter (the variability of the interpotential interval). Jitter examinated in musculus extensor digitorum communis was prolonged (over 55 microsec) in patients with myasthenia gravis and dystrophia musculorum progressiva.
