Sprouting (or collateral innervation) can restore the capacity of voluntary muscle fibres to contract and thus improve clinical strength. 8 There is considerable electrophysiological evidence, including single fibre and macro - electromyography (EMG) and muscle morphological data to support this concept of reinnervation. 16-20 Muscle biopsy studies have shown that the remaining motor neurons may innervate up to eight times or more the normal number of muscle fibres. 21 Survivors of acute polio may be left with a few, significantly enlarged motor units doing the work previously performed by many units. 5 Figure 1 provides a schematic illustration of this process.
