Pdf Summary
The document is a handout from the 2024 AANEM Annual Meeting, centered on utilizing neuromuscular ultrasound for needle electromyography (EMG). Co-authored by Dr. Marie Beaudin and Dr. Sarada Sakamuri from Stanford University, it emphasizes the benefits of real-time visualization of muscles and relevant anatomical structures to enhance the precision and safety of needle EMG procedures.<br /><br />Neuromuscular ultrasound provides critical insights into muscle anatomy, along with their relationships to nearby vascular and nervous structures. This workshop aims to improve clinicians' spatial understanding of target anatomy, allowing for better needle placement during EMG. The handout includes anatomical descriptions, accompanied by images, using a Philips EPIQ transducer on a healthy model. It covers different sections of the upper and lower extremities, focusing primarily on their anatomical composition and orientation in relation to needle EMG.<br /><br />Key anatomical areas discussed include:<br />1. **Upper Extremity:** Detailed descriptions involve the volar forearm at various distances from the elbow, highlighting the position of muscles like the pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, and the median nerve. It also addresses structural variations seen in lateral and medial views of the forearm and the thenar eminence.<br /><br />2. **Lower Extremity:** It offers insights into the anterolateral leg near the knee and above the ankle, highlighting muscles such as the tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus. It also provides options for needling positions for the tibialis posterior, elucidating its placement and adjoining structures.<br /><br />This information is intended for use by members of the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine, supporting improved clinical outcomes through enhanced anatomical understanding during EMG procedures.
