note = "We have examined, as predictors of survival in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), linear estimates of rates of disease progression (LEP), based on motor unit number estimates (MUNE). Motor unit number estimates of thenar, hypothenar, and extensor digitorum brevis muscles (according to the manual method of McComas), isometric grip and foot dorsiflexion (FD) strength, and forced vital capacity (FVC) were available in 34 patients.",
