Pdf Summary
The document is an outline for Jerry Morris’s presentation on "Unusual Nerve Conduction Studies – Anatomy and Procedures – Upper and Lower Extremities," delivered at the 2024 AANEM Annual Meeting. The presentation details the anatomy and procedures for conducting nerve conduction studies in both upper and lower extremities, focusing on unusual but clinically significant nerves.<br /><br />For the upper extremity, the sensory nerves discussed include the lateral and medial antebrachial cutaneous nerves, as well as the dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve. Morris notes the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve’s technical difficulty during studies, the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve's role in thoracic outlet syndrome assessment, and the sensory innervation provided by the dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve.<br /><br />Motor nerves covered include the axillary nerve for the deltoid muscle, the musculocutaneous nerve for the biceps, and the spinal accessory nerve for the trapezius, including painful studies used for proximal repetitive stimulation. Detailed anatomical pathways and considerations for these nerves are provided.<br /><br />Alternative sites and methodologies for major nerves like the median, ulnar, and radial nerves in motor and sensory studies are also described, with challenges such as difficult measurement sites highlighted.<br /><br />Lower extremity sensory nerves addressed are the lateral femoral cutaneous, saphenous, superficial peroneal (fibular), and medial and lateral plantar nerves. Each nerve is discussed concerning its sensory distribution and related technical study difficulties. Lower extremity motor nerves include the femoral nerve to the quadriceps and the tibial and fibular nerves to specific leg muscles.<br /><br />The presentation includes various reflex studies linked to specific nerves, such as the phrenic nerve for diaphragm stimulation and the facial nerve's blink reflex study for assessing disorders like Bell’s Palsy. Attendees are encouraged to provide feedback via the AANEM app and complete associated session credits.
