muscle fibers in response to a stimulus[1]. Alike individual action potentials, CAP waveforms are typically biphasic presenting a negative and positive peak. The morphological attributes of the CAP (amplitude, spread, latency) depend on various factors including electrode placement, stimulus intensity, number of fibers recruited, the synchronization of action potentials, and conduction properties of the neural or muscular fibers.[2][3]

In most occurrences, the CAP refers to:
