Learn the proven methods of electro-diagnosis to assess nerve and muscle health with precision.

The book presents a practical, hands‑on approach to testing the response of nerves and muscles to electrical currents. It explains how to set up the equipment, locate motor points, and perform systematic tests that distinguish nerve from muscle problems. Clear steps guide you through recording current levels, noting contraction quality, and interpreting results to inform diagnosis and prognosis.

With guidance on both routine examination and unusual or limiting cases, this edition emphasizes exact localization and careful technique. It covers key ideas like direct versus indirect muscle response, and it describes several distinctive electrical phenomena that help differentiate different diseases. The text is designed for clinicians who perform electro-diagnostic testing in outpatients, clinics, or hospital settings.

How to prepare and use the electro-diagnosis apparatus safely and effectively.
How to identify motor points and interpret muscle contractions during testing.
How electrical responses vary by condition, including common patterns and rare variations.
Practical tips for recording readings and avoiding common testing pitfalls.

Ideal for students and practicing clinicians who work with nerve and muscle disorders and want a structured, clinic‑ready reference.
