About this book
Written by renowned experts in the field of clinical neurophysiology of the peripheral nervous system this manual represents a practical, quick, bedside reference to approach the electrodiagnosis of patients with neuromuscular disorders. Muscle testing, the techniques for nerve conduction studies and needle electromyographic examination are in-depth described and richly illustrated. Comments and key points are provided and possible pitfalls remarked. For nerve conduction studies, pictures of normal and abnormal recordings are reported and critically analyzed; reference values are also provided.
The book is primarily intended for residents in Neurology and Rehabilitation and physicians in practice wishing to acquire electroneuromyographic skills. The detailed description of the techniques make the manual a valuable tool in the everyday practice of clinical neurophysiology technicians.
