Pdf Summary
This document provides an overview of an electrodiagnostic approach to diagnosing and characterizing brachial plexopathy. The learning objectives include understanding the process of localizing and characterizing brachial plexopathy, applying an electrodiagnostic approach to case examples, and identifying the elements of an electrodiagnostic study that distinguish brachial plexopathy from mimics.<br /><br />The document begins with a background section that covers the clinical context and presentation of brachial plexopathy, as well as the anatomy of the brachial plexus. It then goes on to discuss the approach to performing nerve conduction studies, with insights provided by Dr. Shawn Jorgensen, a clinical professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation. The document also covers the approach to electromyography and provides clinical considerations and prognostic factors for diagnosing brachial plexopathy, as explained by Dr. Sandra Hearn, an assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation.<br /><br />The document includes case-based applications and examples for applying the principles learned, along with a section for questions and discussion. The document concludes with a road map, presumably outlining the key points covered in the document.<br /><br />Overall, this document serves as a resource for healthcare professionals to develop a tailored electrodiagnostic approach to diagnosing and characterizing brachial plexopathy, and to differentiate it from other conditions that may mimic its symptoms.
