EBOOK Electrodiagnosis in Diseases of Nerve and Muscle:Principles and Practice

Building on the author's personal experience in working with fellows and residents        in the electromyography laboratory, this volume is the definitive reference in the        field. It is intended for clinicians who perform electrodiagnostic procedures as an        extension of their clinical examination, and will be of value to neurologists and        physiatrists who are interested in neuromuscular disorders and noninvasive        electrodiagnostic methods, particularly those practicing electromyography (EMG). The        book provides a comprehensive review of most peripheral nerve and muscle diseases,        including specific techniques and locations for performing each test. Divided into        two major sections, the first addresses the basics of electrodiagnosis, including        information on anatomy and physiology, techniques for nerve conduction studies, and        discussions of the blink reflex and H-reflex, etc. The second section presents each        neuromuscular disorder, covering clinical aspects and extensive information on the        distinctive electrophysiological findings typical of the disease. New for this        edition: thorough updating of all chapters with extensive new references; entirely        new sections on magnetic stimulation, human reflexes, late responses, quantitative        EMG, motor unit number estimate, threshold electrotonus, and pediatric        electrodiagnosis; consolidated yet comprehensive coverage of periperhal, as well as        CNS studies, offering a practical approach for problem-solving; ample space allotted        for clinical discussion.
