2022 Workshop Handout Bundle-Unusual NCS

Unusual NCS - Robinson

Pdf Summary

Jerry Morris, a healthcare professional from Louisiana, presented a workshop at the AANEM conference in Nashville in 2022. The workshop focused on unusual nerve conduction studies (NCS) and their associated anatomy and procedures. The presentation included information on both upper extremity and lower extremity nerves.<br /><br />In the upper extremity, Morris discussed sensory nerves such as the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve, medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve, and dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve. He provided details about each nerve's sensory function, roots, and specific areas of innervation. Morris also mentioned the difficulties in conducting studies for these nerves and the importance of side-to-side comparisons.<br /><br />Moving on to motor nerves in the upper extremity, Morris explained the roles of nerves such as the axillary nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, and spinal accessory nerve. He highlighted the muscles each nerve innervates and their roots.<br /><br />For the lower extremity, Morris discussed sensory nerves including the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, saphenous nerve, superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve, and medial and lateral plantar nerves. He provided information about roots, areas of sensation, and their association with specific conditions.<br /><br />In terms of motor nerves in the lower extremity, Morris discussed the femoral nerve, fibular nerve, and tibial nerve. He highlighted the muscles each nerve innervates and the roots associated with them.<br /><br />The presentation also covered additional nerves such as the phrenic nerve and facial nerve. Morris explained their functions, electrode placements, and stimulation sites.<br /><br />Lastly, Morris briefly touched on the blink reflexes and their applications in diagnosing conditions such as Bell's Palsy and Guillain-Barré syndrome.<br /><br />Overall, Morris's workshop provided detailed information on various nerves, their conduction studies, and their associated anatomy and procedures.
