Long-term variability of tibial motor nerve induced excitability with serial stimulation. Patient 6: days 2 and 36 after sepsis onset- serial distal stimulation of the left (upper panel) and right (lower panel) tibial nerves: day 2: a left tibial: 6 stimuli induce isoelectric lines, 1st CMAP appears with 7th pulse and FP is shown reaching normal CMAP amplitude; b right tibial: immediate small 1st CMAP is evoked, FP ensues with higher maximal CMAP amplitudes than in a; day 36: major clinical improvement: c left tibial: FP is still present with much higher initial and higher maximal CMAP amplitudes; d right tibial: no more FP, normal 1st CMAP amplitude. Bargraphs illustrate gain in amplitudes; Vertical scale: amplitudes of the original recordings. Horizontal scale: sequence of stimuli applied
