Learn EMG, Second Edition: An Interactive Quiz Approach to Electrodiagnostic Interpretation

Reconfigured and updated second edition of the popular interactive self-teaching tool for mastering electrodiagnostic interpretation, now web-enabled for easy access on mobile devices or computer.

Learn EMG: An Interactive Quiz Approach to Electrodiagnostic Interpretation, Second Edition combines a quiz approach with clinical vignettes to simulate “real life” in the EMG laboratory. This engaging digital product teaches interpretation of a wide variety of nerve conduction study and needle EMG waveform abnormalities in patients with both simple and complex neuromuscular conditions. Using questions to frame clinical problems and providing clear explanations and discussion of electrodiagnostic findings, Dr. Rubin takes learners through the discovery process to develop a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts and signature patterns.

The Second Edition is organized into 15 quiz sets covering general NCS and needle EMG findings, technical issues, and common, complex, and rare clinical problems. This product includes all of the material from the first edition with 100 new vignettes and questions in five new quiz sets focusing on complex cases with multiple diagnoses, diffuse neuromuscular disorders, unusual EMG waveforms, and individual MUP assessment. Each quiz set is devoted to a particular topic and contains case vignettes, 20 multiple-choice questions, associated waveforms, video clips from actual studies, and audio discussion to help build interpretive skills.
