Synopsis

Pediatric Clinical Neurophysiology introduces clinical neurophysiology and its applications to the paediatric neurologist. It does not aim at being a textbook of either clinical neurophysiology or paediatric neurology, but to bridge these entities, as a handbook for the clinician. The focus is on the methods applied in the setting of a clinical neurophysiological laboratory. Pediatric Clinical Neurophysiology will stimulate readers interest in paediatric clinical neurophysiology in their daily clinical work with children.

About this title

Book Description:

This practical and comprehensive guide covers the applications of clinical neurophysiological measurements in children, focusing on specific investigations for children with nerve and muscle disorders, psychomotor and neuropsychiatric disorders, and sensory disorders.

From the Back Cover:

Clinical neurophysiology is one of the tools that helps the clinician investigate the various symptoms of the central and peripheral nervous system. To the clinician, clinical neurophysiology may seem somewhat obscure, using an ´electrical´ language. But the electrical potentials merely reflect events related to anatomy, physiology and degree of maturation. The interpretation of results must always be put in the context of clinical symptoms and the condition during the investigation. There is a need to join clinics and neurophysiology to give a deeper understanding of how physiology is expressed through neurophysiological parameters.

This book introduces clinical neurophysiology and its applications to the paediatric neurologist. It does not aim at being a textbook of either clinical neurophysiology or paediatric neurology, but to bridge these entities, as a handbook for the clinician. The focus is on the methods applied in the setting of a clinical neurophysiological laboratory. It will stimulate readers’ interest in paediatric clinical neurophysiology in their daily clinical work with children.
