Abstract

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: The adoption of telemedicine is generally considered as advantageous for patients and physicians, but there is limited rigorous assessment of examination strengths and limitations. We set out to perform a quantitative assessment of the limitations of a standardized examination of subjects with myasthenia gravis (MG) during video-taped telemedicine sessions.
