EDX Evaluation of Proximal Upper and Lower Limb Mononeuropathies- Litchy

Pdf Summary

This document is an excerpt from a workshop on the electrodiagnostic evaluation of proximal upper and lower limb mononeuropathies. The workshop aims to demonstrate nerve conduction techniques for evaluating proximal nerves commonly associated with mononeuropathies. The document provides specific instructions on how to perform nerve conduction studies on the nerves included in the workshop.<br /><br />The document emphasizes the importance of proper preparation and technique when performing nerve conduction studies to ensure reliable and reproducible results. It discusses general information and considerations applicable to all motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, such as equipment preparation, patient preparation, and temperature control.<br /><br />The document then provides detailed instructions for performing nerve conduction studies on specific nerves, including the accessory nerve, axillary nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, phrenic nerve, suprascapular nerve, lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve, medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve, femoral nerve, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. For each nerve, the document describes electrode placement, stimulation techniques, measurement parameters, troubleshooting tips, and reference values.<br /><br />The document also includes a reading bibliography for further reference on the topic.<br /><br />Overall, the document serves as a guide for healthcare professionals performing nerve conduction studies on proximal upper and lower limb mononeuropathies, providing instructions for specific nerves and highlighting key considerations to ensure accurate and reliable results.
