Motor Unit Number Index (MUNIX): A novel neurophysiological marker for neuromuscular disorders; test–retest reliability in healthy volunteers

Research highlights ► Motor Unit Number Index (MUNIX) is a novel motor unit number estimation technique. ► It is non-invasive and fast to perform. ►This multicentre study tests intra- and inter-rater reliability in multiple muscles. ► A good reproducibility was shown in all muscles.
