Synopsis

You are staring at an EMG report full of terms you half-remember from residency, and the referring physician is waiting on the phone. Nerve conduction velocities, F-wave latencies, fibrillation potentials, motor unit recruitment patterns: the vocabulary alone can make a straightforward carpal tunnel case feel like a foreign language, and a missed pattern can mean a missed diagnosis of ALS, CIDP, or a surgically correctable radiculopathy.

Most electrodiagnostic references either drown you in raw physiology with no clinical anchor, or skip the mechanism entirely and leave you guessing why a study looks the way it does. Trainees default to pattern memorization instead of true localization skill, and that gap shows up at the worst possible moment: mid-study, needle in hand, with a referring surgeon expecting an answer.

Electromyography and Neuromuscular Diagnosis closes that gap with a complete, 2026-edition clinical reference built the way an experienced electromyographer actually thinks through a case.

• Twenty-five chapters moving from nerve and muscle physiology through instrumentation, technique, and every major mononeuropathy, plexopathy, radiculopathy, polyneuropathy, myopathy, and neuromuscular junction disorder
• A dedicated chapter on musculoskeletal and neuromuscular ultrasound as a companion modality to needle and conduction studies
• Over 50 detailed clinical illustrations depicting nerve anatomy, waveform morphology, and electrode placement, each labeled for exam and bedside reference
• Case vignettes with full clinical reasoning, comparison tables, and clinical pearls in every subchapter
• A companion video course of 50+ curated lectures, accessible instantly through the QR code printed in the final pages

Whether you are a neurology or physical medicine resident preparing for boards, a practicing electromyographer sharpening localization skill, or an advanced practice provider building foundational competence, this 2026 reference gives you the pattern recognition and mechanistic understanding to read a study with confidence instead of guesswork.
