NCS of the Foot

Pdf Summary

This document discusses different entrapment neuropathies of the foot, their causes, symptoms, and diagnostic methods. It includes information on entrapment neuropathies of the peroneal nerve and posterior tibial nerve, as well as other entrapment neuropathies such as medial plantar, lateral plantar, inferior calcaneal, and interdigital neuropathy. Nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are mentioned as a useful diagnostic tool for these conditions.<br /><br />The document also covers interdigital neuropathy and saphenous neuropathy, their causes, and diagnostic methods using NCSs. Additionally, it introduces the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and the use of NCSs for its diagnosis.<br /><br />Finally, a comparison of four different NCS techniques for the superficial fibular sensory nerve (SFSN) is presented, concluding that all four techniques are reliable for obtaining the SFSN SNAP.<br /><br />Overall, the document provides information on various causes of neuropathy in the lower extremity and discusses different NCS techniques used for diagnosis.
