Polyneuropathy is frequently detected in SCA and FRDA patients. The sensory nerves in lower extremities were predominantly involved; however motor dysfunction was also noted. MUNE can offer quantitative information on motor nerve fiber and motor neuron involvement. Nerve conduction studies and needle EMG demonstrate clinical or subclinical polyneuropathy in patients with SCA and FRDA ataxia. MUNE might present another parameter for peripheral involvement.
