Abstract     Single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) measurements of fiber density and jitter are used in the diagnosis of peripheral nervous system disorders. However, the normal values of these measurements for most muscles in the age groups are not well documented in the literature. We present a retrospective an prospective multicenter collection of SFEMG jitter and fiber density data from control subjects obtained for the purpose of defining refernece values form many muscles and different ages. The data and calculated upper limits for fiber density, individual pair jitter, and mean jitter are presented for each muscle in tabular and graphical format, for different age groups.
