BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the electromyographic pattern in Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) with that found in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). MATERIAL AND METHOD: Fourteen men with BMD and 51 boys with DMD were investigated. Proximal muscles were examined: m. biceps brachii (BB) and m. rectus femoris (RF). They were divided according to the clinical criteria in two groups: of those with slight changes (group AB) and of those with severe abnormalities (CD). As in the Part I of the paper our own method of Functional-QEMG was applied in the CNEMG examination. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Spontaneous activity (fibrillations, complex repetitive discharges) was equally frequent in BMD and DMD. Linked potentials were rather frequent in either group. Myopathic features such as MUAPs low amplitude and area, polyphasic shape were seen in either condition, but more marked in DMD than in BMD. Evaluation of IP recordings revealed that IP amplitude (amplitude size) is low in DMD already at the early stage of lesion but normal or only slightly diminished in BMD. It might perhaps suggest different degrees of lesion in type II MUs between the compared types of muscular dystrophy.
