Synopsis

This is a well-illustrated and straightforward guide to EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies. The prevailing theme throughout the book is the clinical correlations that are seen with EMG/NCS abnormalities. The disease-oriented chapters cover the major diagnoses seen in the EMG lab. Each disease chapter reviews briefly the important clinical historical and physical exam findings which are then followed by differential diagnosis of other conditions mimicking the original syndrome. Practical information on exactly what studies to perform, their possible pitfalls, and other diagnostic considerations follow.

* Initial chapters review nerve and muscle anatomy, basic nerve conductions and EMG, artifacts, and anomalies
* Winner of the Will Solimene Award of Excellence in Medical Communication from the New England chapter of the American Medical Writers Association
* Provides useful tables in each clinical chapter with recomended guidelines for evaluation of most neuromuscular disorders
