The CMAP amplitude abnormalities were only found in 2 of 43 SBMA patients (4.65%), in agreement with a very chronic and slowly progressive denervation process, in which reinnervation via collateral sprouting can keep pace with anterior horn cell loss.[sup][28] In addition, prior studies have reported that the proximal limb muscles were usually more severely affected than the distal limb muscles in SBMA patients.[sup][29],[30] The thenar and hypothenar muscles were affected to a similar extent in the SBMA patients.
