What is tensilon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A test : The tensilon test is a method to help diagnose myasthenia gravis, lambert-eaton syndrome and other similar brain and nervious system disorders. You will be asked to perform some muscle movements over and over again, such as crossing and uncrossing your legs or getting up from a sitting position in a chair. The health care provider will check whether the tensilon improves your muscle strength.
