Multi-dimensional electrical impedance myography of the tongue as a potential biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

•Novel electrical impedance myography system uses electrodes on both surfaces of the tongue.•The device produces reliable data, even in inexperienced hands.•The results differentiate between healthy and ALS muscle and reveal disease change over time. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) bulbar dis...
