Knowledge of basic anatomy related to peripheral Nerve and root distributions is being assumed.
Differential Diagnosis of abnormalities that are distributed throughout the neuromuscular system will be presented.
Readers will learn the application of these Techniques to the upper and lower extremities, plus the Interpretation of results/reports through case studies.
It provides the physiological basis and Techniques of this diagnostic test through the use of Nerve Conduction studies and needle electromyography.
