A Companion to Peripheral Nervous System Examination
This volume represents a comprehensive manual including the clinical and electrophysiological methods to approach the electrodiagnosis of the patients with neuromuscular disorders. The muscle testing and the electrophysiological techniques are in-depth described and richly illustrated. Comments and key points are provided and possible pitfalls remarked. For nerve conduction studies, pictures of normal and abnormal recordings are reported and critically analyzed; reference values are also provided, as well.This book, written by renowned experts in the field of clinical neurophysiology of the peripheral nervous system and of neuromuscular disorders, contains reference values for nerve conduction studies and operating procedures for the most common disorders.The book is primarily intended for residents and professionals in Neurology, as well as clinical neurophysiologists and rehabilitation physicians. The detailed descriptions of techniques and their practical use will also make the book an invaluable tool in the everyday practice of novices, clinical neurophysiology technicians novices and clinical neurophysiology technicians.Table of ContentsPart I.- Introduction.- Principles of muscle testing.- Anatomy for needle electromyography.- Principles of nerve conduction studies.- Teaching cases.- Part II.
