Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography in the Evaluation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Peripheral nerves are susceptible to a variety of injuries, often with coexistent orthopaedic trauma. Although the presence of nerve involvement in many circumstances may be clinically obvious, an appropriate therapeutic approach depends on more detailed information regarding the nature of the lesion. Electrodiagnostic studies (nerve conduction studies [NCS] and needle electromyography [EMG]) c...

tion techniques, it is important to pursue more specialized methods of evaluating the peripheral nervous system. Additionally, nerves requiring needle excitation and less commonly studied nerves are of importance. From time-to-time patients may present with lesions affecting specific sensory branches that yield small amplitude responses or require averaging techniques to better define the desir...
متن کاملNerve conduction studies.
This article forms part of our 'Tests and results' series for 2011 which aims to provide information about common tests that general practitioners order regularly. It considers areas such as indications, what to tell the patient, what the test can and cannot tell you, and interpretation of results.
متن کاملThe Relationship between Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography Findings in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy in the general population. Nerve conduction studies are among the standard methods for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. Electromyography is painful and unpleasant, and if nerve conduction studies can be used to diagnose axonal injury in carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography might be replaced. Objectives: This study aimed t...
متن کاملNerve conduction studies in adrenomyeloneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is an X linked metabolic disorder presenting with progressive spastic paraparesis in the third to fifth decade of life. Although peripheral neuropathy is also present in most patients, prominent pyramidal signs may make its clinical recognition difficult. The objective was to characterise the peripheral neuropathy in patients with AMN by nerve conduction st...
