Hi Marshalee; I don't know if what you are getting is what I got, but I believe it is similar. It may be an entirely different kettle of fish, though (in other words, you can't take my word for a darn thing!) Anyway, my test consisted of several parts; one was to stimulate muscles with tiny electrical pulses introduced through - essentially - acupuncture needles and to read the muscles' response througfh other needles. This measured the extent to which the various parts of the muscle were still innervated, and also the degree of - I think it was called entrainment - where the part of the muscle acting from stimulation would itself stimulate the rest of it to contract. Another part sounds really awful, but really wasn't too bad. The docs zapped me in the back of the knee with a cattle prod, or something pretty much like it, and measured the time it took the reflex arc to complete. I nailed one doc in the stomach, and shoved him into his machine, which broke it, which I guess meant my reflex arc was abnormally fast, but ended that part of the test, anyhow. So by now you probably know what you got; was it anything like this or are my docs just barbarians? <g> Malcolm
