Pdf Summary

Neuromuscular ultrasound is a technique used to diagnose and assess neuromuscular conditions by imaging the peripheral nervous system. It complements other methods like electrodiagnostic studies and is particularly useful for evaluating entrapment neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome. It can detect nerve enlargement or abnormalities near compression sites and can also identify other causes or mimics of entrapment neuropathies. Neuromuscular ultrasound is a valuable tool in the assessment and management of these conditions.
