Increased jitter at single fiber EMG

Summary

The variation in the time interval between the two action potentials of the same motor unit is called jitter. This term therefore applies to increased variability in the interval between successive action potentials of the same motor unit, which is measured by electromyography (EMG). [from HPO]
