SFEMG can be abnormal in a number of myasthenia mimics, and routine nerve conduction studies and electromyography should always be undertaken. In centers where SFEMG is performed routinely for the investigation of suspected MG, extensive proximal repetitive nerve stimulation can be foregone without substantially affecting diagnostic evaluation. Normal SFEMG in those with confirmed myasthenia gravis may help indicate clinical remission.
